Ethan's first pine wood derby!

Ethan had his first pine wood derby race today! Scouting is a continued tradition in this family and we knew the day he was born he would be in boy scouts. His grandpa and his daddy and uncle are big into scouts, so there was no denying that Ethan would be too. His cousin Max is too and Ethan watched the derby with him last year. He was super excited about helping Daddy build his car. It of course looked like a star wars spaceship. Don't ask me which one though as I have no idea. Daddy and Ethan went to Grandpa's shed to cut the car (while Mommy sat home nervously awaiting Ethan's return with all 10 fingers.) I only say that because max got stitches one year! They painted it and Ethan helped with various parts. They put the finishing touch on and off we went! Ethan raced his car 4 times and came in first in one of his races! he was super excited, but he was super excited his first race too and he came in third. He got a ribbon for his car and afterward all the boys were racing on the floor and Ethan broke a part off. Just a small part! Now that it's home I think it will go on a shelf in his room!!!! All in all it was a great first derby for him! He loves scouts! And so do we!
