Our church held a Chili Cook off/Pinewood Derby on Friday. The scouts invited everyone to make a car to race after their competition. We made a car for it. A surfboard to be exact with Nephi as the surfer. We had a lot of fun whittling a chunk of wood all week. It takes a super long time to do something like that. We laughed about the scene in Surf's Up when Z teaches Kody how to make a surf board out of a piece of Koa wood. If you have the movie you should cue it up, so funny.
"You find the board in the wood" -Big Z
"Long easy strokes with finesse, with the grain, with the grain" -Big Z
"I have no finesse when you're in my face man!" -Kody
We laughed and laughed. Good times. We spent like 5 hours making our car. It was totally worth it, we won "Most Original" at the Derby, but our car was super slow because it weighed practically nothing.
It was our first EVER chili cook off and it was everything we had imagined. A like twenty different chili's to try. Spicey, sweet, tons of meat, little meat, pork, hamburger, chuck roast, veggies. It was wonderful. We loved it!
