Powderpuff Derby

Dad had cut out the car, Mom sanded, Meghan painted and picked out "accessories" and placed stickers. Mom did some "finishing touches". Meghan said," I'm going to win!" We coached her that participating was the reward, not to count on winning. They lined up all the Daisies to watch their races.
Meghan was so excited when her car raced - even more when it won! It started out competitive, but when it reached the flats it took off! Turns out Mom's research on the 'net pays off.


Then it won the next race - and the next. The last race was for the top 4 cars, and would be run twice to make sure. Turns out Meghan was right - she won! She took first place for the Daisies! Another Daisy from her troop (Megan B) came in 3rd.
We left after the Daisies ran, since the kids were hungry and getting bored. Thinking back, we should have stayed to see if they would have run her car against the other levels! But there were a lot of other cars to race, and they were getting antsy. Note to self for next year - bring lunch (the races started at 11), and be prepared to stay the day. We'll have 3 cars to race next year - Daisy (Jenna) Brownie (Meghan) and Adult (Mom!).
