After Leah's victorious win at the Girl Scout Pinewood Derby last year, Tyler promised the boys that they could enter the Awana race the following year. Well, that year flew by, and the Grand Prix was this past weekend. Tyler and Caleb worked on his car for quite a few weeks and got it all ready to race. Joel, being in the Cubby division, didn't have to build a car. His age group just uses Matchbox cars that they pick from home.
It turns out the Sturm family has a knack for winning Pinewood Derby/Grand Prix races, because we now have three gold medals in our home. Joel's races went first and, by some miracle, he picked a pretty lucky car, because it won every round of the race. We were quite worried, then, that Caleb's car might not live up to the success of his siblings' cars...which would've been a disaster for our overly competitive (and sensitive) child! Thankfully, Tyler knew what he was doing when he built this car, because it won without question. Leah was a great cheerleader this year and hopefully next year will take the trophy home again at her Pinewood Derby (it's an every-other-year event...thank GOODNESS, because I can't imagine how little I'd see of my husband if he had TWO cars to build instead of just one)!
