Ethan's Last Pinewood Derby

Ethan anxiously has been waiting for his last Pinewood Derby.  He had been wanting to work on it since the end of Febraury.  Ben finally got working on it with him  the weekend before the Derby.  When they test drove the car it was a whole car length faster than one of Boston's old cars that took second, so we thought it would do well.  It didn't do as well as they thought it would.  He ended up taking fourth.  Ethan was dissapointed for not placing in the top three, but he got over it much quicker than I thought.  His biggest dissapointement was that he was only a hundredth of a second off from third.    He was really hoping to come in first at least one of the years, like Boston.      I have to say that I'm GLAD the pinewood derby days are over!  It's more of a showing for the Dads more than anything.  And everyone says their son did it on their own, but you can clearly tell which one of those are telling the truth!  Haha
