Pinewood Derby and Orchestra Concert

Jake attended his first Pinewood Derby this year and he was thrilled.  He drew out the design and wanted to work on it every night.   In true Stuart fashion, we procrastinated until 2 days before the race but we pulled it off and Jake was happy with his car.  Clark wanted to improve and restore his old derby car but wasn't able to race it due to his Orchestra concert the same night.  Joe and I tag-teamed for the activities with me watching the concert while he and the kids went to the Pinewood Derby.  Katelyn was my trusty photographer of the event while I took pics and videos of Clark with my phone.

Jake's car is the red one on the bottom of the picture with the "lightning strikes".

While Jake was competing in his first Pinewood Derby, Clark and I were at his final orchestra concert.  Clark did a great job and it was amazing to hear his improvement and playing from his first concert of just plucking the strings before learning to use the bow.  It was a great concert and his Orchestra teacher is fun, eccentric, and famous around Las Vegas.  The middle school's orchestra is one of the best in the state.

 The picture quality is really poor on these because I had to zoom in so closely to see Clark from where I was sitting.  But at least he is there playing away on his cello.
