(Jeremy writes) We have just returned home with a proud little girl. Claire’s car “Daisy” was an unstoppable force at the Awana Grand Prix. She took 1st place for Speed in Cubbies, 3rd place for overall design and 3rd place overall for fastest car. We found ourselves laughing at how competitive we became during tonight’s main event. It was as if “Daisy” became symbolic of us as parents….Would we squash the competition and prove once and for all that we are superior at shaping a small piece of pine into a lightning fast machine? Yes we did! And what does that prove? I don’t know…but it was a lot of fun. Enjoy the photos!

    Way to go, Claire!

    Jeremy, I’m sure Brian would love to share his story of his virgin experience with the pinewood. Needless to say, we took a trip to Indy to let Noah’s grandpa finish it up. Noah got 1st place in design :)

    Hay little speed demon…way to go. Your Dad did something like this years ago but I don’t remember him ever winning. So we have a new champion in the family.

    Sweet! Congrats on the hard work and a little friendly competition! The Grand Prix has come a long way in it’s years. I remember racing cars in our AWANA program too…but for some reason I think I always received the “honorable mention” award. Hmmmm…
    Have a great time on your road trip and to Hawaii!!! Bask in the sun and beauty!
