Grady attended the Regional Pinewood Derby last weekend. It was a little overwhelming - just the shear size of it all. There were 50 Tiger Cubs racing - so that's just first graders. You can see from the picture above, there were lots of people! They used the track and computer system from our pack, so you can see what the race looked like. Of course since it was run by the Boy Scouts, it was very efficient and went smoothly.
I stood with Alice and Pryor on the Second floor of a local mall and had a good view of the track. I zoomed in as much as I could to get the above picture of Grady talking with his friends.
One interesting thing to note: somehow during the registration process, even though Stephen spelled it in all caps, his name was written down as Grody. Grady's car was green (of course he painted it his favorite color!) and in this race was in the red lane. He ended up coming in second place for this race and you can hear the announcer say "Grody"!! For whatever reason, Grady decided to crawl on his knees to bring his car back to the leaders - so you can see him doing so at the end of the video above.
He got two 2nd place finishes and two 3rd place finishes - not too shabby! He had a marvelous time goofing around with the boys - and there were plenty of those!
