Awana Grand Prix

Last Saturday was the annual Awana Grand Prix. This is one of my favorite things we do in Awana. It does take a lot of time and hard work, but it is lots of fun for the kiddos. You purchase a kit that has a square block of wood and 4 wheels and 4 axles, then you cut it the shape you want and glue your wheels and axles on. We missed the work day at church when they bring all of the tools so Steve Baggett cut our cars out for us. I then laid out newspaper and let the kids painted their own cars. They had so much fun!! Sadly we only started the cars the Friday night before the race so not much time was put into the cars. We did not win for design, which is usually where we win at least one "family" trophy, but we brought home third place in speed for Luke's car. Any time anyone of us win a trophy we call it the "family" trophy because they are so hard to win. I fully did not expect to win any trophies this year..we were only doing it for the fun of it, so it was nice to win a speed trohpy..the first one I have ever won (George won second place the first year we raced). Thanks LDBC for all of the hard work that was put into the race..it is so much fun!!
