Awana Grand Prix Derby

This is Ethan's 3rd year in Awana. But this is his first year in Sparks. So it was his first year he could be in the Grand Prix Derby. He was so looking forward to this big race day. Little did mom know how much detail was to go into these cars! I never have been to the race before and so I didn't know what to expect. Whoah. Next year we have a bit more work cut out for us! These cars are detailed! The only thing that matters is Ethan got to paint his own car. He loved the colors & he thought it was funny that his picture was on his. That's the important part anyways! He did win one of the three heats that he was in. So that made his day. He got a ribbon for participating and thought that was cool. So all in all the day was a success :)
Here he is watching his racer go down the track.

Way to go!! We've done Pinewood derbies with scouts...and you're right...some of the cars are very detailed. My dad has helped my boys in the past...I would have no idea how to make a great car! lol!!

our 1st year of awanas was last year and I had never been to the pinewood derby and had no clue what I was to do with that block of wood, DH has no tools and neither of us would know how to cut it even if he did.. I asked the kids if they wanted to take the stuff to my dad to cute out Princess got hers cut just basic cut but Man didn't want his cut at all he took great pride in painting a block of wood putting wheels on it and racing it just the way it way LOL. this reminds me I need to buy the kit for this years race tomorrow night.
