The boys worked on their cars with their dad every spare minute he had, cutting and shaping the car; sanding it down; painting and sanding and painting again; picking out decals and deciding where to place them.
They worked long and hard.
They were so excited about today, Isaac said to me last night, "I don't think I'm gonna sleep the whole night because I'm so excited about tomorrow!!"
He fell asleep . . . eventually. It did take a while though.
Today, all their hard work paid off.
Josiah came in first place in the overall race, and Isaac took first in the modified race!
The kicker here is, they raced each other for first both times!
One time, it worked in favor of Josiah, the other it worked in favor of Isaac.
They had some great opportunities to learn about losing graciously and good sportsmanship.
Overall, they handled it the situation well, and they had a blast, which is the most important thing.
Congratulations, boys!
I am so proud of you!!
And congratulations to all those who participated in the derby.
All the cars were so creative and everyone just had a good time!
Thank you to all those who made today possible. I think it was fun.
On the way home, the boys were talking about what kind of cars they wanted to make next year . . .
The boys and their winnings.
