It's that time of year again.
When parents kids diligently build and refine their
Pinewood Derby Cars!
This year they allowed the siblings to build a car
which meant Taylee and Laiklyn made one too!
(or really that I made 3 cars!)
which meant Taylee and Laiklyn made one too!
(or really that I made 3 cars!)
(you know I'm too OCD to let him paint his real car. This was the practice car lol)
Then night before the race
Anden and Ryan went to the weigh in.
Then we may or may not have subbed out the final touches to a ringer in our ward!
Hey we're newbies at this car building stuff! ;-)
The night of the race we loaded up the gear,
had a final reminder about good sportsmanship
(Anden hates losing!)
and headed over to the church.
Grandma Kathy and Papa Larry came up to cheer Anden on as well!
The races finally began!
Anden was excited and nervous!
They called his number for his first race.
He marched on up there and got his car
And put it on the track.
He was racing his best buddy Owen.
Anden's car is in the middle lane.
Now waiting for the cars to come racing down!
Phew he took 1st place!
Next round...
And another 1st place!
Waiting and watching the others
His turn again!
3rd place
Finally they finished all the heats for the scouts.
So they started the sibling race while they determine the final round of scouts.
Taylee was beyond thrilled to be part of this!
She marched right up with her pink lego friends car
and took the place by storm.
(literally she blew past every car each time! lol)
It was a tad humbling for Anden to watch his little sister win each round!
Taylee was so cute and entirely shocked and delighted each time she won!
Now they transitioned back to the Scout races
while they determined the winners of the sibling race.
They called up the 6 finalists.
Anden was thrilled he was one of them!
So was Laiklyn! :)
The final round was extremely tough
and Anden ending up taking 5th place.
He wasn't too happy about this.
But we told him how great he did anyway.
Heck we didn't even make it to the finals last year
so I consider this great improvement!
Then they called up the final 3 of the sibling race.
Wouldn't you know it
(of course we did since Taylee never lost a race)
Taylee took 1st place!!!
Her cute little personality was busting at the seams! lol
Treat time!
Twinkie Derby Cars
Then they announced the 3 awards
that all the scouts/siblings had voted on during the races.
Anden was delighted that he won
"Best Design"!
(Phew now he had an award to walk out with too!!)
Then Anden got to not so happily listen to Taylee
sing and dance and cheer the rest of the night
while waving her trophy around!
Maybe the sibling race wasn't such a good idea after all? lol
