We are happy to say, Jacob took 3rd in his Pinewood Derby race. It was a lot of fun, especially since with him being the oldest child we have never done it before. Grandpa Eggett even went out and bought a new saw and sander to make sure Jacob could have the car the way he wanted it! Although Grandpa had been eyeing them for a while now, it gave him an excuse to buy it! It also made it possible for Jacob to even do the Pinewood Derby. There were 9 kids who raced cars, and there were 36 heats so each kid raced everyone the same number of times, just to make sure it was FAIR! I did not know that they even make each boy who makes a car place the car on the race track, it was really funny to watch what prefectionists they are even starting at the age of 8! It was also pretty amazing how they set up a computerized spread sheet that shifted and shuffled it. The kids got a kick out of watching their stats change. Although it was 2 other boys and Jacob that stood out WAY above the rest. All in all it was a fun evening, and nice to do something as a family to support Jacob. I am really proud of what a wonderful job he did!
