Derby Race

Last weekend was the derby car race at Awana.  Lilly is in the cubbies group for 3 and 4 year olds.  My husband and my daughter "worked" on the car together to get it ready.  He shaved it down for speed and she picked out the color of paint for looks. lol

I was really surprised how detailed the event was.  The cars all had to be weighed in the night before the race and then they had to "spend the night" in the "garage."  The next night was the race and Lilly had a great time seeing her friends and watching all the cars race.  She was a little concerned that she didn't get a trophy at the end, but she wasn't too concerned once we told her that her car just wasn't the fastest.

Here are some pictures from the event:

Aren't they colorful?

Lilly's is the purple one on the right. :)

Here's a video of one of the races - Lilly's car is in lane 2.
