derby differences

Last night was our very first
Daddy-Daughter Pinewood Derby!
I've been to so many cubscout derbys,
and this was a whole new kind of thing...
difference#1:
the cars were CUTE....
pink, glitter, ponies & all things girly
difference #2:
the girls cheered & chanted
and truly wanted each girl to win at least once
difference #3:
the girls compared color scheme and decorations
speed was nice, but not important
(although the dads were loving the
electronic times posted after each run!)
difference #4:
the awards were hilarious
example-
"best room decor"
"most organic"
"best use of glitter"
"best ride to the mall"
difference #5:
car themed treats...
twinkies with oreos for the wheels

For 40 little girls
(yup! I said 40 girls between 8 & 11,
and we were missing several more)
it was the best, most exciting night!

Miss Lady took 3rd place over all...
she was thrilled!
Tim realized one of the wheels was
coming off after the racing was done...
not to worry,
the top three girls will race against
the top three boys in April at the scout derby...
Tim is sure he can pull ahead after
some work on that wheel

Little Lady so proud of herself!
