March brought us the "Pinewood Derby" for Cub Scouts. In light of the fact that I have three boys....this will be an annual event for quite a few years to come. This year was Parker's third year officially racing a car. However, we have two younger brothers who also wanted to get in on the action! The following picture is one of the "official cars" from the boys in our ward. There was a lot of frenzy getting these cars to the correct weight at the last minute. We saw coins, keys, key fobs and other items being taped to cars at the last minute.
Carter shows off the car he made for the derby. He won't be an official cub scout for another six months, but he enjoyed making and racing the car.
I am the Wolf Leader in our ward and this is a picture of most of my boys. The older boys are Webelos, but the rest are mine. It is a fun calling which I enjoy very much. We have had such a small group since Parker has been involved with scouts. However, this year we will have a "bumper crop!" Carter's age group is filled with LOTS of little boys! Next year's derby will be twice this size.
And the winner's are..........Parker Skouson (1st place) and Parker Jorgensen (2nd place)! Parker got a nice trophy which he displays in his room with great admiration. These two were neck and neck, but Parker Skouson's car beat us out by a hair! Ironically, these boys have the same first name, are friends and are second cousins to boot! They enjoyed sharing the limelight together.
