2nd place

Lander's car was really fast last year, and he didn't like how this year's Pine Wood Derby car looked, so he asked if he could just race his old car. That probably wasn't such a bad idea!

One of Lander's friends reminded me of a promise that we had made to him last year. We had promised him that if he won first place we would buy him a "real" trophy. Lander was serious about winning. He wanted that trophy! 

paying attention

Josh and Jake were paying really close attention in Priesthood today. At least that is what they told me. The evidence indicates otherwise.

Island Park Sledding

Papa worked a trade with one of his patients and arranged for us to have a snow machine trip to Island Park.

It couldn't have been a more perfect day. Well, except for that little snow machine pile up, but who's taking notes.
