Calvin's Pine Wood Derby








Well the 3rd Annual Calvin Harris Pinewood Derby.

This is always a fun time for the Harris family to get together and make these fun cars. Well this year Calvin and Grandpa Skip cut it out. Calvin said he wanted a truck. So in the process they made it a tow truck. And when Mom saw it she joked that it was Tow-Mator. So that's how Mator evolved. LOL. Calvin had more help in this this year. Dad made him sand it and well since it wasn't smooth enough mom jumped in and sanded away. But, once again dad didn't think it was smooth enough. So we told him too finish his masterpiece. And well dad did do an amazing job as always.

Well, Calvin didn't win but that's ok he had a blast hangin out with all the boys in our ward and watching his Mator, go down the ramp and get first or second the whole time. We even had a cheering squad. Poor Calvin turned red a few times when we he would do good and we (well Mom) would scream. LOL.

I am just really proud of Calvin for realizing that this is a fun thing to do and have fun with his family and friends and of course it is always fun to get first but the other places are great also.
