Emma has a good friend she met in Kindergarten who last year invited Emma to come along with her to her Wednesday night church group. it runs during the school year. they have a lot of fun playing games and have lessons about Jesus. they memorize verses and get awards for memorizing and so on... and I feel it's very important to have good friends, so that's a big reason Emma has been going with them.
this weekend they had a pinewood grande prix race for the different age groups. they have been preparing for the last few weeks. one night they were given their block of wood and they got to design what shape they would have cut out and one of the leaders took them all and cut them out. then the kids got to take their cut out cars and decorate them however they wanted. Emma was so excited about that part. she wanted to paint it and needed very girly colors. she painted and painted and wanted to paint more and more. I had to tell her that soon she would have to be finished and just let it dry. :)
so race day came on Saturday. Tim and I went (with Ronan) to watch her race.
Her car didn't do very well at all. I could tell that she felt a little down about that, but we pointed out that this was a lot of fun and that way she did very well, and the boy's car she raced against wasn't as pretty as her car. that picked her up a bit. while the races continued I was talking with her and she said that she hoped that her car would win an award for the best design.
It did.
She got first place and won a trophy
her friend got second
I'm glad she got to have such a great day
