"Down and Derby"

There's an awesome movie, called "Down and Derby", inspired by the pinewood derby, which I highly recommend watching. It is funny!!!

The Elders' Quorum in my ward sponsored the Lake Ridge 12 Ward 2nd Annual Extreme Pinewood Derby on May 17. I participated in the first derby a few years back, and did poorly. This year, I added some grease to the wheels, and taped some quarters onto the car for added weight. It helped. I won 3rd place. I also won the "Prettiest Car" award. It was a fun night. The funniest, most memorable part of the evening, was when Chris Barton used taco grease from his dinner plate to grease his car's wheels. He won 2nd place.

After the derby,I hurried over to my neighbor Brooke Robbins' wedding reception (Her sister, Kristin, made her wedding dress and it looked amazing!) . I met Luz Cardenas' mother and we took a picture outside the center.
