Kaden's Pinewood Derby 2015

These were 2 guys hard at work on Kaden's derby car. Kaden got his car 2 weeks before the race. Dad and Kaden worked on it the week before. Kaden designed the shape but then Elsie designed the back and when they were done it didn't look much like what was on paper. Kaden was still happy with it. 

The night before the race dad and Kaden took the car to the post office to weigh it. The day of the Derby they were putting the wheels on. 

Here are the cars that raced. Kaden's is the one with the yellow stripe down the top. There were some cool cars. Here is Kaden and his friend Mahonri racing for the first race. Kaden lost that round. He was devastated. You would have thought it was the end of the world.

The next rounds were sweet victories.  Kaden's car won every heat it was in after that. Kaden no longer was sad and he ended up winning first place. Kaden was one happy boy!

At the end of the races kids were invited to race cars they had just for fun.
Kaden had brought his car from last year to race it against his new one. His yellow car beat his 2nd place one from last year.

This is his medal. Boy, he was happy.
