For anyone who knows Kayden, they know how patriotic he is. So when we asked how he wanted to paint his car his two ideas were either red, white, and blue or camo. We felt that red, white, and blue would be easier so we went with that. It turned out really nice. We put a big USA on the top with lots of stars. Then we put his name on the back.
Thanks to Aunt Amber for the use of her Silhouette machine to cut out the vinyl to decorate it.
He was so proud of the way it turned out.
His brother and sister wanted to pose with him for one picture before we left.
Kayden was lucky to have several supporters show up to cheer him on. Papa Clyde and Aunt Ab Jo came from Burley to watch. (Don't ask what my daughter is doing in this picture. That is her new thing, to pull faces when I want a picture.)
Grandpa Steve and Grandma Helen were there to show their support too.
And of course Mom and Dad and his brother and sister were there.
They had an awesome track that was all computerized. I guess the pinewood derby has been around long enough to give them plenty of time to perfect it.
They raced four boys at a time. When it was their turn to race they got to sit in the four chairs by the finish line. Each boy had to race his car on each of the four lanes of the track. Then they combined all of their times and ranks to see who won overall.
This is kind of hard to see in the picture, but they had this up on the wall so you could see how each car did. As soon as they crossed the finish line it showed their time, who came in what place, and their time.
Dad, Kayden, and Grandpa watching some of the other races.
Jaycee and Ori had a great time with this. They sat right down in front and watched every race.
After all the races were finished for all the different age groups, they handed out awards. Kayden won first place for his division and received a really awesome trophy.

Then all the first place cars from each division raced at the very end for the award of Pride of the Pack. Kayden had to race against boys who were all older than him. He did such a great job and ended up winning third overall. He received a Huge 3rd place ribbon for the pack race.
This was such a fun event. The whole family really enjoyed going and watching him race. Now we have a lot to live up to for next year. We better start planning now. :)
