For Toyota family day Eric and the boys entered the pinewood derby car competition. This was their first experience with the cars and they were pretty excited about the whole experience.
Eric work hard to get the cars ready and the boys helped pick out what kind of car they wanted and the painting. Eric has had a lot of experience making them and I was pretty impressed on how they turned out.
Sup's was probably the most challenging as he wanted an alligator, and Thomas wanted a semi-truck. Sup wanted his blue so we got him some blue paint and let him have his blue alligator. Thomas wanted Angry Birds on his truck, so after looking at several stores was able to find some.
Eric had ambitions to make his look like a Highlander. There was a category for the car that looked most like a Toyota. He didn't have time so ended up just wood burning a picture of the boys on the block of wood with the Toyota symbol on the front.
The boys were pretty excited to see their cars race down the track. They both received a ribbon and Eric actually did win a trophy..... for looking most like a Toyota. We both got a pretty good laugh but he now has a pinewood derby trophy so we were all happy and had a fun experience with it :)
