Pinewood Derby 2025

The day after Bladen's percussion concert was our church group's pinewood derby.

With everything that happened with my mom, I wasn't very good at helping my kiddos get their pinewood derby cars made.  Luckily, I've got the best husband in the world & he took care of it with the kids while I was in the hospital with mom, as well as the week I was preparing for her funeral.  Together, Trek & the kids made some pretty creative pinewood derby cars.




Craiger created a cybertruck with metallic paint.



Bladen's car was titled "Roadkill" & was a smashed rat with tire tracks on it.



Taya went full on barbie mode with her car.  She make a Barbie flip phone which cracked me up.  She cut her car in half lengthwise & added hinges so it would open up like a flip phone.  Because it was so big & bulky, her car won the SLOWEST car award.  It didn't place in a single race. . . we're talking slow slow slow.  But it was the "coolest" car there & she won the "most creative" award.





Canyon made the most adorable SHARK car I've ever seen with fins & all.






This was a really fun activity for the youth in our neighborhood.  SO MANY PEOPLE participated & we did 2 hours of races.  It was a blast.





At the very end, they did a "POTTER ONLY" race where the 4 kiddos raced each other.  Craiger won & Taya lost badly, but it was so much fun.
