Down and Derby

The pine wood derby was a couple of weeks ago. I didn't get the pic posted because at Easter my sister (sheena) was in charge of taking pics of the kids rolling the Easter eggs down the hill and she dropped my camera in the dirt! I thought it was gone for good but I fixed it by some miracle. Anyways I used sheena's camera for the derby and just got her usb cable on fri to download the pics. Sooo anyways the derby.
Stetson's car was close to the saddest looking paint job there. His dad tried to instruct him on it but he wanted it painted his way and that is what he did. some were spectacular you know the kid must not have helped on the paint job at all. But sad looking as his was he was proud of it. I had a talk with him before we went and I said you know stetson there will only be one kid there who wins it all and that night not be you but it's OK. So he was excited but so nervous he didn't expect much when he got there and seen everyone else and their cars. He raced five times and well he WON every single race. This car was smoking fast. He was so excited and proud he was jumping up and down and yelling.


This is stetson with his winning car and first place metal.

This was the last car he raced for the first place prize his car the one on the left. didn't look nearly as nice as the one on the right. but his smoked it . In fact it went so fast down the track you can see that the barrier could barely stop it ti pushed the barrier way out.When we were on our way home he said this is the best day of my life. He now wants a glass box with and alarm on it for his car. I was so very proud of him and so happy for him!!
