The Winning Stable of 2009 Ring Derby Cars
Well it is bound to happen I guess. The world keeps turning, we get older, and we have to pass the torch to the next generation. Today was the last Pinewood Derby for the Ring family. We will miss the feel of pine, the smell of burning graphite, and ruining Mom's expensive craft paint brushes. We pulled out all the stops for our final run. The boys got some design ideas from a really cool book, we did some research online, and we locked ourselves in Grandpa Ring's workshop to work some magic.
As you can see in the photo, Dillon did awesome!! He named his the "Yellow Monster". All of the painted accessories are his weights. He got First Place in his age group and the Rings drive their derby cars off in the sunset as Champions!! In one of his races, his car came out of its lane, and slid sideways across the finish in first. It was pretty cool.
I threw in the pic of Morgan and Dillon not only because it is a great shot, but also because it is a one in a million view of a natural Dillon smile in a photo. Very rare---trust me.
Wow, great cars!! Good job dad and mom and kids. Beautiful picture of M and Dill pickle. Love mom

ReplyDeleteCool derby cars!! How awesome is Dillion's for winning while going sideways! The Yellow Monster rocks!!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of Morgan and Dillion too.
Way to go!!!! I am always a little sad when it is the last time my kids will do something because they are getting older. I still have all the fun cub scout stuff to look forward because I have my little punk Sam. I'm so glad you've started a new blog. We had tons of fun with you over spring break!
