Pinewood Derby!

William and Wayne had so much fun building their cars for the pinewood derby.  Spencer showed them pictures of cars on the internet so they could get some ideas and then gave them each some paper and had them draw their car.  Spencer cut the cars out and the boys sanded and painted them.  After two days of hard work the cars were finally ready.  The night before the derby I don't think either of the boys slept.  They were so excited!
The decorations were awesome!
Our ward has a large group of boys and there were so many cool cars!

William's car is in lane 2 and Waynes is in lane 4! 
Williams came in 1st with Waynes right behind him with Will's setting a new track record!
All of the boys seemed to be having a lot of fun.
Each boy got a turn at pushing the start button!
Awards are presented
And first place went to "WILLIAM"! 
His car got faster with each race.  He was one happy boy but he later told me that it was, "kind of hard to be the winner because he was afraid it made the other boys sad".  I love his humble spirit. 
Wayne's car came in 5th!
Each of the boys had to name their car. 
William named his car, "Metal Hauler" and Waynes was simply "Bob". 
hahaha Wayne cracks me up!
Wayne and his car "Bob"
William and "Metal Hauler"
The Cars up-close
Williams- #77
Waynes- #8
This was Williams last year to race. I get a little sad when I think about him being too old to race-he is growing up so fast.
As for Wayne - he is already looking forward to next year and thinking he might name his car "Larry".

How Exciting for the Boys! Tell them I said Congratulations! I love their cars! I really love Wayne's name for his car- sweet & simple! Nicolas raced his car for the first time in the Pinewood Derby and he came in
4th! He was so excited! William is such a sweetheart and has such a sweet spirit about him. I remember when I was at your house and the first thing he did when he came in the door after school was go over and kiss his mom and his sweet Ellie Mae!
