AWANA Grand Prix

Our family has been looking forward to the AWANA Grand Prix for weeks if not months. While race day is certainly one of the highlights of our year, it is the planning, creating, and customizing that make the cars so special. This year Calla entered "Star Racer" in the pinewood derby and got third in the first heat and second in the second heat. This year Noah was able to stay and watch the race, which he loved. I could almost see him planning his strategy for next year. Noah also made a car this year, but since he is not in AWANA yet he was not able to race it...officially. We have a date at my mother's church to race the car she created against Noah's "Spiderman Car" and "Star Racer". It should be a real nail biter. Here are some pictures of the race, Calla and Noah's cars, Calla with her participation ribbon and some of the other cars that raced this year.
