This year, Uriah got to participate in his very first pinewood derby. Daddy made helped him make his car; he wanted to make it look like an Enderman from Minecraft. When they got it weighed, it was half an ounce over the limit, so daddy had to drill some weight out of it before the race.
All the other boys were very impressed with how cool Uriah's car looked.
The Enderman car placed in 2nd and 3rd several times, and got 4th place once. We had such a blast watching all the cars race down the track.
When they did the awards, they said they were going to announce the award for best design, and before they even said his name, Uriah stood up and started walking up to get the award. He didn't know before hand that he was going to win it, but all the other cars were pretty unimpressive (most of them were plain wedges).
We are proud of our boys for their hard work on the derby this year. We can't wait to see what next year brings!
