Pinewood Derby

Well, we have officially experienced our first Pinewood Derby. (Or at least Ben's first. Jef is quite experienced in such things.) Ben painted and decorated his car all by himself. It didn't necessarily roll the fastest, but he did get the Most Creative award and had lots of fun. I was sure all that paint would have weighed a couple ounces all by itself.
I didn't realize they were supposed to be so heavy. There are about six fishing weights on the back, all those dimes, and more weights in the seat. And no, I can't tell you what number his car was. 1,853,990,247?
