It's Derby time again!!!!
This is our car from last year. We worked extra hard on it. We planned for weeks. We cut it out and sanded it. Painted and lacquered it. We paid extra special attention to the weights and wheels. When Derby day came it was very exciting!! All the cars were lined up one by one. Each scout walked down the line and voted for their very favorite car. Then it was time for the main event!! Our car raced down the track at least 50 times. We yelled and jumped up and down when our car came in first. And it came in first quite a few times!! Enough times to win us 2nd fastest car in our den. See that trophy up there^^?? The other trophy is for people's choice. Out of all the cars there, and there were a lot, Isaac's was the favorite design. Pretty exciting stuff!! I took video and everything.
So now it's Derby time again. See that block of pinewood down there? Yep. That's our "car" this year!! Needs a lot of work right? I know!! I've been nagging my boys for a month to get to work on this thing. They have no design. No grand plans. So different from last year. When is the Derby you ask? This Saturday!!! Very first thing in the morning. Less than 48 hours. Not even enough time for the paint to dry!! I'm betting they can't pull this off. This chunk of Pinewood will remain just that...a chunk of wood. But alas, I am DONE nagging.
I think they are going to regret their lack of motivation come Saturday. Do you think they can pull it off? We shall see I guess. I'll keep you updated :)
