Today was the pine wood derby for Cameron's cub scout pack 136. Camerons goal for the car was to win. Dads goal for the car was to make it to the finish without falling apart. We both came home very happy.The completion was fierce, but Cameron remained cool and collected. He was one of the first to run in his heat. The tension was high as we waited for the pin to drop and the race to begin. And then finally they were off. Cameron had a solid lead the first race, much to his nervous father's relief. The second race was equally as exciting, but he won once again. The third race is where he finally met his match, lost by only half a car length. He won the fourth race with no problem.
Now, it was the championship race for his den. Cameron was once again against the one he lost to. We all waited... It was a close race. Cameron came home with the second place trophy. You couldn't chisel the smile off of his face.
The Pack as a whole did a wonderful job. They cheered for one another and always shook hands and congratulated one another. It was nice to see such sportsmen ship.
Cameron is definitely coming out of his shell and is making great friends.
