Derby Cars

The boys are in Cub Scouts and they got to decorate and design their own car for a race. Dad helped them shape it and paint it. They didn't get to race them because we were out of town but they loved making those cars. When it was the sanding phase, the first thing they did when they woke up in the morning was to keep sanding those cars. And when it was time to paint them they would ask me all the time "Mom can we paint our derby cars now?" Joe used his artistic skills to help paint them but the boys did most of the work on that part. When Joe put the wheels on, they raced them all day. They made ramps and obstacles. I never knew a derby car could be so fun. I'm glad it wasn't all a loss since we couldn't race them with the rest of the scouts. Stephen and Jonathan seemed pretty pleased with them anyway.
