Ward Pinewood Derby

Our Ward did a pinewood derby race and it was a lot of fun. Maxwell and the girls had such a great time shaping, painting and putting stickers on. Maxwell even glued a little lego guy driver on top.
Maxwell couldn't wait to get the car on the track and win the race but when it came time to race he came in 3rd place. He was so sad that he didn't win that he started crying. The first thing he said was "That lego guy slowed my car down, I want it off!" Once we explained to him that this race wasn't about winning but about having fun, he turned the tears off and decided to congratulate the winner. After everyone got a chance to race the kids got to race as many times as they wanted to... Maxwell soon forgot that his car wasn't winning any of the races and just had fun!

Drivers.... start your engines. (Maxwell's is on the far left)

So sad because he wanted to win....
