Last Friday, Nov. 9, our ward had a chili cookoff and pinewood derby race. Adam participated in both. The pinewood derby had no rules. For those of you who are familiar with pinewood derbies, no rules sounds like a bunch of fun! Adam immediately started coming up with all sorts of ideas. He decided to make the wheels out of pizza cutters and weigh it down with coins - probably 3 pounds worth. The first version didn't turn out too well (see picture below), but he eventually made it work. We were afraid it wasn't going to finish at all because of its weight. Adam tried it out when we got to church, and it worked great! It ended up winning a few times, but it lost twice. Since it was double-elimination, he was out. He won the chili cookoff again, though. Woohoo!
The ward activity was a little chaotic, but it was a lot of fun. I suppose it sort of makes up for the lack of a Trunk-or-Treat.
Version 1: way too tall and awkward.
Version 2Here's one of Adam's winning races. A kid kept calling Adam's car "Cookie Cutter!"
Good job!
There was this cute setup on the stage for family photos. Great idea!
