Pinewood Derby

The Pinewood Derby was yesterday. It turns out that Sophie's car was the fastest car in all the runs. It shot off the line ahead of the pack, and then flew down the track putting even more space between it and the other cars. It was sort of amazing. Max' car and Sophie's cars were in a lot of the same races. His was pretty fast, but Sophie's kept beating him (and all the others). Unfortunately certain other kids enjoyed pointing out to Max that his sister beat him. Her car won't be in the final tallies since cars that family members run don't count, but unfortunately Max was not pleased with the results. If you took Sophie's car out of the equation it looks like his car did really well, but that is small comfort. Hopefully he will do okay in the design stuff. Luckily, Sophie's car was not included in the design contest.
