Pinewood Derby

Kobe competed in his first pinewood derby last month. He was excited to race his "Mach 7" car. Kobe didn't have much patience when it came to actually making the car. Ryan pretty much made the whole thing. Kobe would check in on him every once in a while to make sure it passed his inspection. When the car was finished, Kobe was proud of what "they" had done! Even though Kobe gave it his best shot he didn't end up placing. We learned a few tricks on how to make it faster though. The following weekend was the stake level competition. Kobe was set on going to compete. We made a few changes to the car and went to the stake competition. His car was faster this time, but still he didn't place. He had a blast though and received a ribbon for participating. He thought that was just great!
