Saturday May 29th we had a Harper Family Pinewood Derby. It was so much fun!!!!! Here are all the cars lined up ready to go. We didn't follow the BSA rules exactly.... we allowed for a little extra weight.
Ben and I made the pink car, and we borrowed the brown car from my friend's son.
Here's our attempt at a family picture for the day.
Grace, Aly (kyle's girlfriend), Kyle, Garett and Ben watching the first of our heats.
Here they come! The competition got pretty intense with cars flying off the track at times. It wouldn't be a Harper competition without a little "cheating" so we had to do a few reruns. We also had about 5 cameras and video cameras going so we took advantage of "instant replay" to determine some close races.
This was such a fun activity because the adults and the children could be equally involved. Some of the adults did get a little possessive of their cars though!
Ben and his brothers Corey and Kyle.
Notice my new haircut? I cut it that morning and am so happy to have a new summer do.
I didn't get a picture of the champions but we won! Turns out my friends 10 year old son makes a mean Derby car! That car smoked almost everyone else! Our pink car? It barely crossed the finish line in most heats. It looked good though, and that's all that matters.
