Derby Time!

The boys' Pack Derby was Saturday. They had a blast, and it wasn't painful for us big people. That's always a fun combination!

LB called dibs on Nanny Duty before we even left the house, so she spent most of the race with Jase - and his thumb - hanging out, talking with the other kids.

EmBaby's lil' pink pickup stood in as a filler car for the oddly numbered dens, so they'd have a car to race against. Hers wasn't designed for racing, and it's ridiculously light, but she didn't care. She loved seeing her car go down the tracks.

The boys in the Pack all joined in, rooting for "Baby Sister", which we thought was really sweet. (The Dads all loved the pickup, and later dug the change out of their pockets and loaded down the bed. They ran it after the race, in buddy races, just for fun.)

James took third in his Den. John took first in his Den. He also took second in the Pack. So, we're off to the District race in March for more Derby Fun.

I don't have too many pictures to share online, as most of the shots have other people's children in them, where their faces are identifiable, and I don't have permission to post them.


Kiss those babies!

Looks like so much fun! Congratulations boys! Our derby is still 2 weeks away.

As for the pictures, I usually crop them out, or blur their faces up if I can't manage that. Do you have any close ups of the cars? I'd love to see them.

What fun for the kids, their Papas, and the Nanny too!

You are creating such memories. Enjoy them all.

Thanks for sharing.

LB is one of the coolest folks that I have been able to come to know through homeschooling. I am so glad to see photos of her having such a good time. What a blessing she is.
