The very last Pinewood Derby came and went last month and both Kai and Nora had a good showing. Kai’s car was competitive but didn’t make the finals. It did, however, win the “Best Carved” award. Nora’s took first place in the Sibling race and won the “Shark Attack” award. Also included are picture from a recent mini-vacation where we went to Bahrain for a weekend of water parks and good food before the sprint through the last month of school starts.

Nora uses the dremel on what would become the "Doomsday Shark" car. It took first place in the sibling race and won the "shark attack" award.
