Pinewood Derby Champions

Jake had his first Pinewood Derby contest last week. Last year we missed doing it, because well life was busy. Jake never let me forget how we missed last years race and was counting down the days till his race this year! He enlisted the help of his uncle AJ in building his car. AJ took his task of building Jake's car very serious. Jake drew pictures of what he wanted his car to look like. Jake called AJ almost every other day for a month to talk to him about the car and what they needed to do. Grandma Adrienne helped Jake with decorating his car. The best part was Robbie telling Jake before the Pinewood Derby, that he'll probably not win. Robbie said, I had never won, so you probably won't! AJ and Jake with "Jake's" car. Jake winning his first race!
