The missed Derby

Today was Seth's Pinewood Derby Race. He and his dad stayed up late last night getting the car all ready. How exciting, it will be Seth's first race. He and Jared designed the car and the racing stripes.

Only problem...Seth started throwing up about 9am this morning.

So, now what? Well Mom and Dad suggested that we go and race the car for him to see how it would run. Seth was excited that it would get to race. We video taped the whole thing and brought it home for him to watch.

Seth's car came in underweight. So Louie glued some money to the bottom of the car to add weight. Two nickels and a penny to be exact.

Placing Seth's car for racing.

The race track

The Finish Line

Seth's car is the farthest over. It says 0 place because he hadn't quite made it over the finish line yet. He got 2nd place in this race. Each time your car comes in 3rd place you get a sticker put on the bottom of your car. When you get 3 stickers your car is out.

So how did Seth's car do?

Overall his car came in 4th place. All the adults got to vote for "Best of Show", meaning the car that looked the best. Seth came in 3rd place in best of show. He got this ribbon and a chocolate bar. Good Job Seth!
