Boxcar Racer

For scouts, all the boys in the ward (ages 8-10) made their own boxcars and then raced them. Caden's car was a...toilet. I'm not sure where that came from, but he even taped toilet paper to the back of it. As you can see in the picture, we never got it painted, but he drew some sweet flames on the side. A few months back I did a post on his pinewood derby that he took first place in. He didn't disappoint in the boxcar races either. Once again he took first place. He has had quite a successful first year of scouts (at least with the things that really matter!) The boys raced two or three at a time and it was sort of like a relay. They had to weave in and out of stakes in the ground and stop at their designated "pit stop" to eat, drink, wash their "windsheilds," and "change their tires." Thank goodness he had an awesome pit crew (Matt, Owen, and myself) cause he got to keep moving on and won in the finals! It was a great time! Way to go Caden! Caden and Styles Weiler in round 1
