Today was the annual Pinewood Derby race in Caden's Cub Scout pack. We spent many evenings this week cutting, sanding, painting, weighting, and getting Caden's car ready to race. Caden did a lot of the work at every stage, and we all had fun.
The race has evolved since Dada and Boopa were building cars 30 years ago, and the set-up today included not only a speed track (complete with an electronic timing system) but also a skill track and a car jump. Mama was a great help with recording each car's time on the speed track, and Finn even got in on the action.
Caden's car won 2nd place in his den, and he also won the cash raffle prize. He was a happy scout today!
Otherwise, we've been laying pretty low this weekend. Last weekend, we had a really fun time meeting up with Auntie Sally in La Jolla, where we also visited the Birch Aquarium at Scripps.

Caden, we are so proud of you for all the work you and your Mom and Dad have put into this! It looks like it was a fun, and very profitable event!
You look great in your scout uniform!
