fly Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Well, I must say today's pine wood derby went much better for my son than mine did some 30 years ago. We spent a lot of time togther working on his car and prior to the race I explained to him the importance of having fun together regardless of who won. Boy it sure was nice to see him pull out a second place finish though. I'll never forget what he said to me after walking up to get his trophy and then walking back to me and his mom. As he held his trophy he looked up at me with a big smile and unprovoked said, "Dad, thanks for helping me work on my car." Today life is good.

fly Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Congratulations to you and your son art... There is a district race in a week or so we could race in, but I'm sure the competition will be stiff. I feel relieved that the day went well for him and think it best to leave well enough alone. I did feel bad for a couple kids who were going for the best in show (actually I thought we had a chance for that as well), but the den mother forgot the trophies for that category and instead of awarding the kids later, opted not to have it. What do you all think about best of show? I personally liked the lego car in my previously posted picture best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
