Pinewood Derby




 Jake did his final pinewood derby as a cub scout.  This year, the car was done a little different.  I actually cut it out at work and did the majority of the sanding.  Jake did the painting and stickers. 
Jake had the derby on a Tuesday but the plan was always to work on it together the Saturday prior.  However, I got really sick and was in bed all day and the night before on Friday from the flu. Because I was sick, Jake was actually prepared to admit he did not have a chance to make a car and would forfeit his chance to participate.  He wasn't even mad at me.  He, thinking he wasn't going to have a car, only said, "it's okay dad if I don't have a car."  He is so kind hearted.  After that, it was impossible for me not to help him have something to race with.
