Derby

Last week was the first time Stevie got to participate in the Pinewood Derby. He was so excited, so like any first timer he chose the coolest design for a "car".

Having gone to the Fort Douglas Museum days before, he was overjoyed to make his "car" into a tank.

Unfortunately, the crushingly powerful design of the army tank is not the most aerodynamic profile choice.

Although you can't see it here, there is one very disappointed boy in the crowd who came in last for all but one race, in which he took 3rd.

However, he did get an overwhelming amount of compliments for his totally awesome design.

So next year I think we are going to have to really get serious about this whole derby thing. Maybe even recruit a physicist or mechanical engineer for some help!
