Preparations for…The Derby

We knew when we took Ellie and Hunter in that there would be changes. And we knew that we couldn’t even anticipate all of the changes—there is just no way to know everything that would be different. One thing we probably could have seen, but didn’t was that we would be participating in the pinewood derby! That is a first for me. I have cut cars out before for people who asked for my help, but I have never attended or been…”invested” in any particular derby race. Well, all that changed with Hunter being old enough this year to have a car in the race! And I didn’t realize what a big deal it is to boys and men alike!

Kelly was awesome with Hunter. The car was really Hunter’s car. He listened to what Hunter wanted and helped him make his “dream” car happen. Hunter did most of the work, too. Kelly only stepped in when it was too difficult for Hunter. And as a result Hunter was really pleased with his car and his work.
