Today was the cub scout Pinewood Derby. Bug has been working on his car for the last few weeks with Pap. The pictures are not in order as I am also including pictures of some of the creative cars in Bug's den.
This is one of the creative cars. Too cute.
This is Bug's car. Bug learned how to spray paint and use a scroll saw (with Pap). 
There were some very cool designs. The boys could win an award for first, second, third place, then there were awards for craftsmanship and originality. Each den had 5 awards. The dens are by grade level, Bug is in 2nd grade den, the wolves. His den had the most boys participating- 11 boys.
The track is set up in the gym, the boys are in place, and the crowd is prepared to cheer. let the derby begin.
Oh, another creative car- an ant-eater car.
all set.
each car in each den races on the 4 tracks and the fastest time wins. In Bug's den, the difference between 1st place and 7th pace (where Bug placed) was 0.02 of a second!!! These boys had very good cars.
After the derby, which was at 9 am and ended close to 10:30 and was after weigh in on Friday night from 7-8 pm and then set up in the gym from 8:30-9:45 pm, we went grocery shopping, had lunch and came home. I needed a rest and Bug wanted to play. When I came out out of my room, this is what I found in the living room.
One sleeping Bug!! And a great train track
