Today is a super exciting day in our house. We are starting the morning with the very exciting Awana Grand Prix. This is the pinewood derby event that the Awana Clubs put on every year. I have very fond memories of myself competing in the Grand Prix when I was in Awanas. With the big up coming surprise and not being very skillful wood craftsmen we thought this would be a perfect project for them to do with Grandpa. Poor Grandpa probably didn't know what he was getting himself into when he let the kids search the internet for ideas. The result of the search a Wii remote and a bright pink race car. I have to note Emmeline's first idea was a kitty cat mobile with a full on stuffed head on top. We had to draw the line, that seemed an engineering nightmare.
The kids didn't win a heat, but had a great time. Grandpa took note on how the fastest car placed its weights. And there is already talk of Grandpa building a practice track so they can work on cars early, test them, and tweek them. Oh my!
Despite not winning a heat both Caden and Emmeline both came home with trophies. How we managed that I don't know??? Caden won the trophy for Most Christian Message and Emmeline for Most Creative.
Such a fun morning with two kiddos who showed great sportsmanship. Now we are headed home for a Mickey Mouse Party with a big surprise!
