Pinewood Derby

Yesterday, Brock competed in his very first Pinewood Derby. Michael had to sought out some advice from Captain Mark on building this speed machine. After several trips to Hobby Town, Hobby Lobby and many hours in the garage, Brock and Michael were ready to race an awesome car. Since it was his first time to compete, we weren't sure how the car would perform. Butterflies were swarming in Brock's belly! The cars made 4 runs, one in each lane. The slowest time was thrown out and the other three times were averaged. After 10 minutes of intense racing.....Brock ranked #1 in his den! He had to come back later in the afternoon to represent his den in the pack finals.

Brock's car is in lane 1. The one with the fire on it...who would have guessed???

Brock receiving receiving is medal.

Back for the finals. So small compared to the rest of the pack :)

Lane 2

Brock and his camping buddy, Graham.

Both medal winners!

At the end of the day, Brock ranked 7th out of 77 cars. Not bad for his first race.

Earlier that morning, he also played one of the BEST basketball games ever. It was a great day for Brock. Since this is his birthday weekend, it couldn't have happened at a better time.

Today we are headed over to Cowboys Stadium with 3 of Brock's friends for his birthday celebration.

Happy Birthday, B-Man!
