Walker was so excited when he got his Pinewood Derby kit. He begged to work on his car everyday. Lucky for him (and me), PopPop came to visit that weekend. PopPop was an Eagle Scout and had put together many Pinewood Derby cars in his day! He helped Walker whittle and sand the car. After he left, Walker and I continued to work on it, but ended up having to send it back to PopPop to put the weights in the car. Walker and I went through several different paint jobs, and finally ended up with a silver car with blue stripe. We had several mishaps along the way, but ended up with a nice little car. Waiting on the race to start...
Winners
The race was so much fun!! Walker's car actually came in 3rd place! It also won 3rd place in "Show & Shine!" So Walker ended up with 2 trophies! 
On the way home, Walker started talking about what he wanted to do with his car for next year!
