At The Races
The Pinewood Derby was held on Saturday and Camden was too excited. Tim went up early to help set up and when he came back he said there were some really awesome cars up there. I was worried about how the "48" car would do. I told Camden to remember that it wasn't about if his car won, but that he had fun. That was all that mattered. He did all of the painting and decorating of his car. Daddy just put the wheels on it. He was more than ready to go!!
The track set up...
The cars resting before the race....wheels up. Wow, they don't do that in Nascar?!?
Needless to say, number "48" did a wonderful job! Camden came in fourth place. His car also won Second Best In Show! They took his car to be put on display with the rest of Best In Show. We will get it back at a later date! He really had the best weekend ever! It all started with the sprinkle of sleet that turned in to lots of ice which he has played with for the past two days. Who knew he liked icicles so much!?!? He also made Honor Roll at school and he did pretty awesome for his first Pinewood Derby! Ok, I am bragging a lot, but you know how it is!
Way to go Camden!! How awesome is that? You should be very proud of yourself :-) The car looks great and what an honor to have it displayed at Raleigh for best in show!!! You did great & I'm so proud of you...what an experience for your first time! Tell daddy he did great on the wheels and your paint job was awesome and congrats on the Honor Roll..what a wonderful weekend you had!!

ReplyDeleteI had to wait until I got over the shock of everything. Honor roll, taking 4th place in the race, and then having your car pulled as 2nd best in show? Boy, what a weekend you had! Now when you get your car back tell daddy, grandma S said to buy a trophy box for you to keep it in. that was such a great weekend for you and I know your Dad and Mommy are happy for you. Daddy may go broke, but I hope you make the Principle list next month. If you do, I am sure Grandma S will have something for you to. Way to go Grandson, I am so proud of you, with all my love Grandma S
