Our FIRST but not our LAST pinewood derby

 His scout leader, Christie giving him his award.  Yes, he loves when mom takes his picture.

On March 22, 2012 Riley did his first pinewood derby.  He and Russ made the perfect car--TOGETHER. Cut, trimmed, painted the works.  The day came and we were all excited.  Ninna came with us.  When it was Riley's turn he was always so particular how he put the car up.  He did a great job.  Poor buddy, his car came in last place almost every run.  The missionaries were the judges.  It was a lot of fun to watch the boys being so excited.  At the end they announced that Riley got 3rd place in show.  WHOO HOO.  It was so good for him to get an award.  He really is such a good, sweet boy.  He never complained or got mad that his car was last.  He just did it again and again.  GOOD JOB RILEY!!
