Jerrod had his pinewood derby last night. He already had one this year in Arizona so we used this opportunity to try and learn from our past mistakes. Jerrod designed the car himself and it did pretty good. This was not your typical pinewood derby race. They had the track hooked up to a laptop with a computer program that figured out the brackets so that each car got to race in each lane once and then at the end it averaged out all of their times to determine the winner. They had each ward race individually and then the top three cars from each ward would race in the finals that night. Jerrod's car got 3rd place in our ward's competition so we got to go to the finals. He beat out a couple of cars at the finals but finished near the end. A few dads were all smiles when their kids lost since they had tickets to the UNLV - BYU game which was pretty funny.

Our ward in Colorado was intense like that too! We not only had the laptop, but the camera too! We could rewind and slow it down....the whole works, it is crazy how intense people can get.
