It's Pinewood Derby day for Daniel's Cub Scout troop.
Our front room looks like a construction zone because Daddy has been helping Daniel (and Joy--siblings can make cars too) craft a wood block and some wheels into a sleek, aerodynamic racing machine.
Daniel opted for a minimalist design whose orange paint job can be seen from a mile away (kind of like his shirt).
Joy designed her car to look like a hammerhead shark.
What kind of family lets a shark into their house? They must be crazy or something!
Race time! The bishop helps Daniel (whose mom forgot to remind him to put on his blue Scout shirt) line up his car at the starting line.
Joy's hammerhead car was ahead for most of its first race, but another car edged it out at the end.
After all the heats were over, Daniel took fifth place among the Cub Scouts, and Joy got the Best of Show award for her unique car design. Engineer Daddy is already making plans for design improvements and better weight distribution next year.
