Pine Wood Dirty car

 Our Elders Quorum had a PineWood Derby Race tonight. We got our block of wood last Sunday, and made our car during the week. Nathan decided that it should be a Batmobile, so that is what we made. He was so proud of how his "awesome car" looked.

 Grandpa came with us so he could watch Nathan's car race. Anderson found that grandpa had the perfect place for him to put his bottle, and still be able to drink it.

 Our car had to race in the "anything goes" category because it weighed too much. Regular rules a car cannot weigh more than 5oz., ours was 6.6oz. 
Nathan hated waiting for his turn, but found comfort in playing with all the other kids there while he waited.
 Anderson trying to figure out how to get some of daddy's popcorn. He likes popcorn just like his daddy!

 We took third place in the "anything goes" category, fortunate for us, there were only three people racing.
 So happy he got a prize!
On Monday morning David and Nathan went to Lowes and Nate kept asking if they could build the "dirty" car. David had no idea what he was talking about until they got home and I told him the derby car. It was cute that Nathan kept calling it his dirty car.

I love the recurring theme of " what can Anderson drink out of?" Great pics again.
