AWANA Grand Prix

Soon after getting home from Disneyland, the kids knew what was next to do... get started on their AWANA Gran Priz cars! There was 3 weeks from the time we got home until race day, so both Doug and the kids wasted no time getting started.Thankfully both the kids had decided a long time ago what kind of cars they wanted to make.. that left more time for design and building, which was most important!


Here's a photo diary of the build and the race!

Making sure it weighs just the right amount

Matthew was being silly and got really close to the camera.. and then he insisted this pic be on my "bwog"! :)

Using the drill press like a pro!

Break time for play time! 

Evelyn could almost operate the drill press on her own.. she's quite good with power tools!

Painting time... can you tell what they are?

Sanding off the wheels so the cars can be super fast!

Evelyn's carrot car!

(of course, I forgot to take a pic with Matthew and his car. Ugh...)

Matthew patiently waiting for the races to begin!

And HERE is Matthew's dogbone car. He was so proud of it! :)

They each had fast cars and had a great time at the Gran Prix. And they are already working on designing NEXT year's cars! :)
