PINE WOOD MADNESS

This past Saturday was Carson's first official pine wood derby. He worked for days with Brian trying to build the perfect FAST car. They did some cutting, sanding, painting, and weighing to make sure that his car would FLY. Kelton along side Carson also built a car. He did his own sanding, painting and also weighing so that he could race his little car along side his big brother. We didn't think Kelton would be able to race, but when they got there they said they thought it would be great if he did. The first round of racing Kelton's car blew all 24 racers away. Apparently his little car that he built all by himself was one of the fastest there to start. The next few races were a little different. Carson ended up with 3 place over all and Kelton had some engine/wheel troubles after the first race. Brian said that everyone had a great time. I wish I could have been there, but the hospital doesn't seem to close their doors.......LIKE....EVER!
