Undefeated...four years running!!

As you all know, William is in Cub Scouts. Has been since 1st grade. Well, on the 11th, we had our anual Pinewood Derby Race. It just gets better every year!! When we get there, we have to weigh in the car, check it in, and 'patiently' wait for the race to start. This year, we only had 6 boys racing. Race went well, and rather quickly. That didn't calm the 'nerves' of the boys mama's! I get so nervous every year, you just don't know how your son is going to react to being beat! Anyway, as we raced this year, once again, Wiliam had to race one of his best friends, Wes. Every year, it ends up, Wes and William in the finals. This year, another little fellow was a contender for top spot. Wes, well as always, he just keeps on racin'. And the cool thing, they remain friends through it all, every year. Did I mention that William is undefeated?? For four years?? Cool huh?
Wes has crossed over to Boy Scouts. A time that is quickly approaching William. He could have crossed over in February with Wesley, but he only likes 5 pins earning the "Heavy Shoulder" Award. He is determined to earn that!! It is an honor to earn this award, it states that the Webelo, (cub scout in 4/5 grade) has earned all 20 possible pins.
Back to the race...
We got down to the last of the race and it was Wes, William and another little guy. The last race was actually a photo finish! We all got out our cameras and compared pics, to determine the winner. In the end, William's car was about 1 to 2 inches ahead, but it sure was close! Now we go to the District Race. This is May 7th. William won first place there last year, and went on to the Piedmont Council Race and took 5th place there!!!
He has a trophy from every year. This year, he talked Ray into buying metals, so, he now has three 1st place trophies, and a gold metal from Pack 22, and a 1st place trophy from the district and a 5th place trophy from the council. He may not be into sports, which is perfectly ok with me, but he sure has the trophies to show off!!
Here are a few pics from the evening of the Pinewood Derby...

William's is the blue one in the lead!!!

I sure am proud of this little, growing boy! I love you William!!
