Pinewood Derby

The same weekend Genna and I were in Lynden for Vault Into Spring, Mark held down the fort and took the rest of the kids to opening weekend for baseball and the Pinewood Derby!  Mark has tons of experience building Pinewood Derby cars, but there is always more to learn.  After sweeping the entire race, he is happy to host a STEM clinic for scouts about building a winning car.
Daniel: First Place

Lula: First Place and Fiona: Third Place
Mark is quite certain Heidi's car was the fastest of the bunch, but may have been disqualified simply because the judges didn't want the Downens to bring home all the trophies.  Did I mention Mark is now the Cubmaster?
