The Derby

A couple of months ago, Henry went to his first Cub Scout Pinewood Derby. 

I'm not sure what I expected, but it was bigger than you'd think.  Or than I would think.  Anyway, it was a big deal.

The boys worked on the car for weeks.  And by "boys," I mean Henry the boy and Dave the boy who's been a Mechanical Engineer for 20 years.

If you see what I'm saying.

Anyhoo. 

Gramma and Grampa Graves also got up tres early and headed over the mountains to watch. 

And we were off.  To the Derby!

Fourteen doughnuts, three twinkies, a driver's license and a whole bunch of cheering later - Henry came in first.

It was really, really fun to watch.

It was a fabulous morning.

And a bonus was leaving the event before a single person found out what Dave does for a living.

Good job, my boys!
