Pinewood Derby......






Well another year for the Mellon's at a Pinewood Derby, year 5 to be exact. We have learned a bit over the years.....mainly that our cars should look good because we won't win. We didn't procrastinate as much this year, which made the whole process a lot better, less stress.....less mistakes. Actually the boys did better this year than any other. Hayden placed 4th...he was thrilled. Jake knows he didn't loose every race he was in, so that is a plus. Jake wants to build a track at our house so he can race his previous cars, which unlike Chandler's are pretty much in tact, minus the weights we had to peel off his first year car to use as a last minute fix to last years car. This was Haydens first so he has some more time.

Jace just got his derby kit. i was thinking you could just send us one of your boys cars so we don't have to do it. No i'm kidding. i'm glad Chandler enjoys doing this with Jace. The cars turned out good and you look even better!
