Pine Wood Derby


 Step 1:  Cut out car shape of choice from block of wood.  It might be better to not wait until the last minute, like we did...


Step 2:  Paint car and add weights to get as close to 5 ounces without going over as you can.  You could take a picture of this step, but I didn't!  Oh, and don't forget to add the wheels.  Wheels are good on race cars.


Step 3:  Race car.  Our creation didn't do real great, but we learned a lot for next year, and Morgan was a very good sport about it.


Step 4:  Eat ice cream sundae!


Step 5:  Take a silly picture knowing it will likely end up on your mother's blog.
