Dylan has been sooo excited about the Pinewood Derby. We all know that Dylan gets very excited about most things so try to imagine even more excitement than normal :). With Dads help he was able to build a 'sweet" car that he was sure was a winner. The night of the derby we had Chinese food and his fortune said, "you will win success in whatever you adopt",and this was all the confidence he needed. He was sure that meant he was going to win. Dad and I were just holding our breath hoping he wouldn't be too disappointed. Well he was es tactic (while mom and dad were shocked) as he won his first race and then the next and the next. With about 25 boys racing there were many races before it came down to the final 4 which Dylan was in. He came in 4th overall and was more than thrilled! We couldn't believe it, Dad was pretty sceptical of the cars abilities but Dylan again has taught us to have a little more faith:). If you can believe it that wasn't even what he most excited about. All week he has been talking about beating Sister Madsen(the primary president, and a good friend of ours, made a car and she brought it to race the boys) and after lots of big talk ("you're going down" etc.) he did win. Not that he needed it but it was another highlight to a great night of racing.
Ready, Set, Go! and then....wait for it, wait for it
Thanks for a great race Sister Madsen, sorry you had to lose!
