Pinewood Derby 2012

For those of you who are familiar with the Pinewood Derby, it was a big year for Emerson.  As you can see he was the winner of his group and his smile shows his pride at this accomplishment.  This Scouting project is always so stressful because the boys design and make their car.  Last year Emerson learned a critical lesson in aerodynamics and used that information to make a better design for his block of wood. We are very proud of him and his hard work in scouts this year.  (PS - He did have help installing the wheels on his car.  I am not sure who really thinks a child is capable of this, but even my husband struggled to get them placed just right.)
