Pinewood Derby and a Bear

Brandon and Braxton had a father and son outing to Braxton's pinewood derby this past weekend. Braxton received his Bear along with his religious knot, a gold arrow and five silver arrows. He has worked very hard this year to be able to achieve all of these. We are so proud of him and his accomplishments. Our troop has a tradition of when the boys earn a patch for the year they also have a face painting ceremony. Brandon was able to paint Braxton's face and you can tell just how nervous Braxton was by how his face looked. He is usually smiling, but with all eyes on him; he takes on a new look; expressionless. Braxton placed second in speed in the races and received a trophy (8 inches tall Braxton had to measure it for us). Way to go bud! We love you!
