fly Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Wish us luck! At 1pm today we'll be headed out to the annual Pine Wood Derby. Last year was our first and we took 2nd place with my sons eagle car. This year he wanted to make Bob from Monsters vs. Aliens. I came up with a basic design and it turned out ok, but making a glob of goo from wood isn't that easy. Anyway I'll post pics and give an update on the race later.

fly Posted January 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Well we got third place this year. Our car ran a bit slower than last year, but my focus was making a block of wood look like a blue blob of goo and having my 7 year old help out more. My kids had a lot of fun and I'm so glad to so him being a good sport. A couple kids were not to happy and you could see it in their actions. Next year I'll have to make one with my daughter. She felt the worst since she was left out of the whole thing. They had a sibling race this year just for fun, wish I had known about it earlier. We'll get em next year!
