Saturday was Cole's birthday and it was also his first Pinewood Derby. 4 days before the derby I got a call from one of the Primary counselors who asked if Cole wanted to participate in the Pinewood Derby. Now anyone who knows how long it takes Sal to create a car will know that 4 days isn't nearly enough time. However, Sal said he could "come up with something". He and Cole immediately went to work. Cole said he wanted a Ferrari and after scouring the Internet for designs, they finally agreed on one.
I honestly didn't think Sal would finish the car in time, but he stayed up until 2am Saturday morning finishing the paint. Check-in and weigh-in was at 1:30pm so there was plenty of time to add the decals and wheels.
Thanks Granny and Papa for the Birthday present. Cole looked official in his new Cub Scout shirt.
For Olivia it was all for show and she had to pose so her Dad could take her picture.
Cole did a great job and I think he had fun racing his car. Sal has already started thinking about ideas for next years Pinewood Derby car. I cannot divulge any information, you will have to wait and see.
I can't believe Cole is 8. Time goes so fast! He can't wait to be baptized, but I think he isn't looking forward to fast Sunday's.
Cole, we love you SO much and can't wait to see you be baptized.
