Up until recently, Andrew has shown very little intreast in AWANAS. We insist on him going because we like that the kids learn Bible verses and have a great time singing and playing games. OK, the real reason is that we love our dinner out in the middle of the week with no kids. The verses are a definite bonus. Any who, Andrew decided to enter himself the his first pinewood dirby race. As far as I knew all we had to do was paint it with some oops paint and glue on the wheels. Pretty much something we could do the night before. I was so wrong. The boys took several trips to Home Depot and one trip to the neighbors house. Ross took it to work several times for a weigh in.
The day had arrived and our wheels were lubed. We were all a bit nervous that our first slide down the slide would sent nuts and bolts a flyin'. We sat by the door for a quick escape. Much to my surprise he came in 7th place. This was really pretty great, considering there were about 25 cars. Next year, top three!
