Over the past 2 months, my two sons and I have been working on preparing racers for the Cub Scout's Pinewood Derby. What a great tradition! In talking to other fathers and scouts, nearly all shared fond memories of working on the cars together. This got me thinking about how great these generational activities are! And conversely, how so often we often look to the next best thing rather than allowing ourselves to find comfort (and even excitement) in tradition.
Weigh-in was last night, and it was crazy, fun, and exciting to see everyone getting his car ready for the big race. Plus, nearly every person was feeding of the nostalgia and history of this event. You could see how close building the cars brought father & son. Quite touching!
All for now - time to head out!
