an epic race

today we found ourselves at the race track. 

an epic battle involving craftiness. 

preteens emotional well-being hung in the balances. 

future deciding 2 seconds. 

artistry on wood at it's finest. 

precision, calculation, perfection on wheels. 

personality embodied and put in motion. 

a complex mix of triumphs and defeats. 

an event months in the making. 

scout glory may rest on these epic moments. 

oooorrr.... we went to the pinewood derby. 

we are webelos leaders. 

it's the cats meow. 

an algorithm, computerized timing system, and a big screen for viewing made for a fine derby

 mary was more into the art scene

 this is how are picture taking is nowadays...

fail 1 

 fail 2

 fail 23

moments after this she destroyed the photo booth with a wee trip

and raced off in distress and a fit of rage

then she started eating decor

annnddd that's when we left. 

it was a fine derby. 

i haven't been to one in probably 15 years. 

they pulled out all the stops. 

hope your weekend isn't racing by.... (unless it's at a pinewood derby). 

happy s weekend days folks.
