Pinewood Derby

Last week we had the pinewood derby at church for the kids blast program. Connor is still the only one old enough to build a car and as you can see we were very excited for the races. (Last year we had quite a few victories) But when the races started we quickly realized there was a problem. Most of the cars weren't even getting to the end of the track, usually only one would even cross the finish line. Turns out they bought a little bit cheaper car kits this year (dang economy :) ) and they just weren't rolling that well. Connor's car never made it across the finish line, but his dad and mom never even touched it, he did the whole thing by himself including the Bronco colors paint job. We were so proud of him, and although it's not supposed to be about winning, you can tell by his face that at least to this kid, winning is a little bit important. A lot of kids were crying, at least Connor managed to fight back the tears, he was just mad. Tough life lessons for a little guy, someday we'll look back on this and laugh but not any time soon.
