Pinewood Derby!!!

Andrew's Philly Soft Pretzel car! It was the slowest of the Weeblos, but the most tasty and most original - AND he can honestly say he made it all himself. When Tim and Andrew stopped at the pretzel bakery in the morning, they guy asked them what they were doing (shirts) and they explained that Andrew made a pretzel car for their pinewood derby. Andrew's car was quickly sponsored and he was provided with a bag of free pretzels. They want him to bring pictures back, and will give him a shirt (they didn't have any that morning).

Steven decided to make a firetruck, complete with working light. His actually had some speed (came in 2nd for most races) and he made it with Tim, using the dremel, painting it himself, and adding all of the detail.
Of course the cubmasters daughter had to make a car!!! Unfortuantely she slept through race time, but she was the youngest participant! She had the prettiest, sparkly car in the room.
We didn't have any winners for speed in the family, but I'm sure one of the boys will win for their amazing paintjob. We'll find out in a few weeks at the Blue and Gold banquet.
