The Hillan family's first experience at a Pinewood Derby was nothing short of a great time!
We had no idea what to expect.
Justin helped Nathan with his car the previous week: carved and painted it, stickered it up, loaded it with weights, and took it to the weigh in.
I had told Nathan before the derby started to make sure he made the "losers" feel like they had done a good job and not to be a poor sport if his car didn't do good.
Well.... Nathan's car had its breaks on a bit and lost several rounds.
We did what you can only do in a situation like that.
Laugh.
Laugh our heads off.
He did win one heat which was nice but still funny nonetheless.
After the races were over we congratulated the winners and the boys enjoyed hot fudge sundaes. We celebrated Nathan's car which had one an award for "Best Flames" and headed home with a great memory.
I love the scouting program. So many put hours of time and their talent into it and it does not go unnoticed. The Hillan family appreciates those great scout leaders!
