Go Bananas and Trojan Horse

Our ward had a Pinewood Derby---funny since there are no cub scouts in our ward. No webelos either. Or any sort of Boy Scout. In fact, no "real kids" over the age of four. Since I've never been to a Pinewood Derby I wasn't sure what to expect but had the best time! These are our two entries. You're probably guessing it wasn't your traditional Pinewood Derby although there were tons of "real" race cars. Jared's, "Trojan Horse" won an award for best design because he put a pole in the horse's mouth which prevented any cars from passing ahead of his car (he only actually put the pole in for a few runs). Ingenious or sly? Ingenious. And, he won husband of the year award when he turned his car around backward when our two cars met head-to-head because my car, Go Bananas, never crossed the finish line except when the pole pulled it across.

On the way to the church I said to Jared, "I hope no one else shows up with a fruit car."
