Erik raced in his first Pinewood Derby last week. His car looked schweet! He did a great job. Grandmas and grandpas came to cheer him on. The coolest part was they had the race on a big screen complete with finish-line-playback. Sean even discovered he could watch it on his cell phone (which sort of reminded me of that scene in Ocean’s Eleven where the bomb guy is watching a building being obliterated on live television while you can see the actual building fall by looking out the window over his shoulder).
We had a fun night. My favorite comment came at the end of the night. Erik raced several races, and actually won one of them. When we got home Anna told him he had a great car. Erik said, “I know! I won first place tonight!” Way to believe in yourself, buddy! I love it.

The glory days of Pine Wood Derby. Good job to Erik! His car looks great, and that is just the right attitude to have as well.
We had fun and wish we could have stayed for the whole thing. I'm glad we were there for most, if not all of his races...including the one he won!!!
