A*wana Grand Prix

This was our first year ever having a child desire to participate in the A*wana Grand Prix.  I think T would have liked doing it last year, but I don't recall seeing a paper come home about it!  LOL!  So, this year, T said he wanted to do it.  We went ahead and bought the kit for the car, and T enlisted Dad's help!  It was very fun for them both to work together on a project like this.  Since Dad had been a boy scout, and had made a car like this before, he had all the knowledge about it! 

The actual race day was on a Saturday.  We all got ready to go, but T forgot to wear his official TNT shirt.  Ooooops!  It turned out okay, though.  There were several rounds for all the cars to race, and T's car even got second place a few times!   Unfortunately, his car didn't make it into the finals, but I think he really enjoyed being a participant.  I think he did a great job!

It was fun to see all the designs of the cars!  Here are some pictures of the event!
