Our first derby race

This was our first derby race (even for Jared), and the wonderful thing about this troop is that it is very family related, so all the activities are open for siblings....so Travis and Megan were able to participate....this is Travis watching his car race.....
Jacob and his scout friend showing their derby cars....

This is Jacob's derby car with a lightning bolt on the side......Apparently, derby car making can be a pretty big deal, and as I mentioned, this was Jared's first derby race too (despite the fact that he is an eagle)....well, the Barton derby cars were no match for some-maybe all of the other cars, so we ALL took last place- Jacob was very bothered by this, but fortunatly, we are in a small troop and he was still able to get a trophy...which apparently is all that matters when you are seven....


This is Travis' derby car....note the fine paint job



If there was an award for cutest derby car, Megan would have taken first place...but I guess boy scouts have no such category-bummer!
