On Saturday morning, Team Johnson went to the Cub Scouts Pinewood Derby race. It was pretty cool! Myles & Erik had worked all week long on creating a cool looking (and Patriotic!) race car, and it was finally time to test it out. We had already explained to Myles that since this was our first time, it was unlikely that he would have a fast car or a winning car. That prediction came true. The car raced in 4 different races, and came in 4th place each time. I guess I should mention that only 4 cars raced at a time, so basically when I say that he came in 4th it really means that he came in last. Myles had fun, but he was really really sad when it came time for the awards. He looked so deflated and told me that he wished he got a trophy. We tried to show him the positive side of things. His car finished all races and kept all 4 wheels on - not all the cars even achieved that. He eventually snapped out of it, but I certainly hope next year we make a faster car.
This is a video of his car racing - it is the red, white, & blue car.
