Race Day!!

Well today was Riley's big Pinewood Derby for Cub Scouts!! He and I went, sat on the floor next to the track and crossed our fingers!!Here is Riley with his participation ribbon, before the race started.
Can you guess which one is Riley's?? The one with the R!! The yellow and orange dot stickers were put on for the race, the rest is his paint job.

Here is one of Riley's races, he smoked everyone!!
Here is Riley's last race, he came in 6th out of 18 cars. He was a bit disappointed as he would have gotten a trophy if he had been 5th or higher and he had set his sights on a trophy. :( And then Dan won a trophy for coming in second in the adult race, so Riley went up and accepted it for him. So that was a little hard.

Here is Riley with his car after the race (isn't he hansom!), Riley was the 1st place for the Tiger scouts. So, no trophy but he gets to race in the regional race in about a month. So we will go there, there were still a few tears but over all a good experience.

Best of all is then he and mom went and got a doughnut!!

Yea for race day!!
