Cub Scouts...start your engines!

The building of the car all began during spring break.
Logan drew a design of what he wanted his car to look like and then grandpa helped him cut and sand his car into shape.

Dad was in charge of helping Logan with the body work.
Logan wanted a black car with lightning on the sides.
Here Logan is painting the rims.
The big day arrived and Logan said "I just hope I don't come in last".
(Last year he was in the "Turtle Race" to see which car was the slowest.
He was relieved he won that race so that he didn't win the title of the slowest car).

The finished product




Sweet Success!
Thanks to the help of Logan's pit crew he didn't come in last -
he came in 2nd place.
Uncle Scott gave Logan advice and some secret weapons
to help with the wheels.
(Scotts ward recently held a Pinewood Derby Race and Scott
came in first place. Logan knew he definitely should ask for his help).
Dad helped make the car look extra good with a beautiful paint job.
Grandpa help cut out the car and worked with him on the axels.
Thanks for all your help he couldn't have done it without you!
Logan was especially happy with his 2nd place finish!

Oh sure, where was uncle Scott when we needed some racing tips? I think you must have been hiding him till we retired from the races! I am glad Logan did so well. My kids really wanted to come over to the church and be his cheerleaders! Good job Logan. Julie
