Fun At The Races!

Today was the AWANA Grand Prix races!  The kids always have a great time, especially the biggest kid H.O.!  There were some amazing, creative designs, we had a hot dog, a spider on a web, a space ship and a Big Ben Clock, just to name a few.  Our guys went for more traditional cars, Andrew did decide to make the church van.

Our kids all won several races in different heats, H.O. had really hoped Carrie Anne would win a trophy because she never has.  Abby was enjoying every moment, she smiled from ear to ear!  When it came to the final race the winners from the four elimination heats raced for first, second and third place.  Abby won second place and Taylor won third place.  The first place trophy went to Abby's friend Addie, also adopted from China.  It was great to see her win, as she had never won before!

Abby won second place last year also but she was not there to enjoy, she was in the hospital and Carrie Anne ran her car for her.  So, really this was her first race and she enjoyed every minute!

H.O. is thinking he should start on next year's cars now as he will have six to make next year!  But ....part of the fun is scrambling the week of the race to get them all done!
