Race Results

This year the Cadet Pinewood Derby was held at Sunnyside Christian School with troops from Sunnyside, Zillah, Kennewick, and Spokane participating - all towns here in Eastern Washington. (The Cadets is a scouting-type organization through our church.) Neither Kevin or Kyle brought home a trophy, but they did place in the top ten for speed. In this group of cars, Kevin and Kyle's are at the bottom of the photo. Link to more photos

Kirsten went along for the opportunity to play with the sisters of some other Cadets who may have tagged along as well. So the four youngest were gone with Dad, DS Geoff was at work and DD Melanie was at karate all morning - that left me home Alone! I very much enjoyed the quiet of the house and getting seven loads of laundry processed and some ironing done.

On the way home from Sunnyside, the gang did a little geocaching. DH always tries to do a little caching when out and about with the kids. Here they are at a spot in Grandview - a pretty good-looking group IMHO, lol!

Very cool Von! I wish I could have been there to go geocaching. I think this is such a cool idea. Plus your weather looks a lot more pleasant than ours was this weekend!

It looks like you all had a great weekend, Von. It must have been bliss, having the house for yourself just like that!

Your week-end sounded packed with family activities. Nice to hear you got a break (laundry & stitching) with some alone time.

The derby cars are so interesting! I remember my older brothers were into that. Nice to view your photos. Thankx for sharing.

Enjoy the day

How cool are those cars!!! I love them. I wish we had something around here like that. I have a feeling it just isn't too popular in my neck of the woods though I know my son and DH would enjoy it. It looks like a great time was had and you have a lovely family.

Congrats to both boys! Top ten finishes are considering outstanding in NASCAR, so they really must count in Pinewood Derby too!

Your boys did well!
I remember the pine derby races with the boy scouts. Sean had fun making his car with his dad. Thanks for the memories.
