Soap Box Derby Down our Street

Connor and I spent a relaxing hour this afternoon cheering our local and annual Soap Box Derby. Evidently this was the 80th running this year. It is run down the hill approximately 200 yards from our house. The kids looked like they were having fun, but there was a very serious element to it too. They were competing fiercely, the parents that is, the kids were pretty competitive too! Like most most local events, we bumped into some neighbors and friends and had a nice chat with many.
