Pinewood Derby

Thursday Zac had his annual Pinewood Derby! Zac and Grandpa Beagley made a car called the
"BONE CRUSHER". They worked really hard at cutting, sanding, graphiting and spinning. I never knew how much work really went into making these cars!
Thanks Grandpa for all the help!! On the first heat Zac took 1st place, but this is Zac's face after the second heat and he took 2nd instead of 1st......(ha ha ha)

Here's Beecher (our neighbor and Zacs scout leader) getting the cars lined up for the third heat...

This is a pic of some of the kids lined up watching the races.
Taylor ~ Reagan ~ Jackson ~ Colton ~ Zac ~ Kinley ~ Devin ~ Jake ~ Valyssa ~ Allison
ALL the kids in the neighborhood know Valyssa!!! They all fight about who gets to sit by her and hold her. I love it!!! When we go outside the kids all yell BOOGA!!!

One more snapshot of Valyssa with one of her buddies :)
Zac took 4th place overall, he had a really good time (even though the only pic I got of him doesn't look that way)!!! This pinewood derby was just our ward but there were 22 cars competing... so CONGRATULATIONS ZAC!! You did a great job!!

  1. Good job Z! I can't wait till Brody can do this and I'm sure Tyler can't eithr. It's funny that all the kids like to pick Boogs up. She's too cute.

  2. What an awesome car! Ben is re living his childhood through pinewood derbys/rocket building in scouts.Zac will have to come over when they actually get to launch it. In 2 weeks I think. It turned out to be more complicated than he thought. He loves it.
    I love Boogs too. She has the cutest little voice that just kills me.

  3. Nice work Zac! With a name like bone crusher no wonder you did so good! You have got an amazing grandpa to do all that work with you. I hope you gave him a big hug for that one!:)
