Derby Racing

It is that season once again...
Pine Wood Derby Racing for Royal Ambassadors or Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts.  I have to share a few shots of our weekend for Seasonal Sunday. :)
saw this at Borders and got it for my Derby Dudes...
they already had this out...

that tiny flat piece of wood in the top left corner is the car for this years race in works...

I loved being there!!  I got to go around and talk to all the guys and gals about their cars and how they designed and created their masterpieces.  This is my fav Royal Ambassador.

they were all so cute judging each other's works and talking about their own.  We had as many GAs as RAs and they rocked the competion.
That car in her lil hands is a slice of pizza and it was smokin' hot. lol

Look how sweet my guy is...he dressed to match his car.  His Momma went looking at 3 different stores to get him the flourescent orange paint color he wanted this year.  The whole family was looking at google images to help with the design.  He chose the Fleur De Lis and blue flame design.  I guess the other kids thought it was cool because not only did he win fasted car...he got best in show for boys his age.

Sweet!!

    Hey Denise Marie! Sorry I haven't been by in a while. Things at home were crazy with the holidays and sick kids.

    I LOVE your new blog design. Looks like you found a great vintage dog for your header. It's adorable.

    Congrats on your guy's winning. My son's Boy Scout's derby car was orange too! That was many years ago though.

    Hugs,
    Dawn
