A week or so before the Derby, Papa Dan came down to help with Maison's car. This year a trip was made to the local hobby shop to pick out a car that was already cut. This car was very very thin! Maison picked out a really cool sticker that when he got it wet, it shrunk to the wood. Very Cool! The night before the Derby Jay and Maison took his car to be weighed. It was much too light so they filled it with metal and glued pennies to the bottom.
Maison's car finished in the middle of the pack this year! Not too bad! Each kid received a ribbon in Maison's den. (Last year was a huge disappointment for the kids when they didn't get an award!) Maison received an "Outstanding" award.
Our favorite car was the block of wood that was taken out of the box right before the race! It actually did better than most! Maison is bound and determined to make a SpongeBob car next year! Looks like we will be sending the block of wood down the track. Ours will be painted of course.
