Braylen's Car is in lane 2:







Saturday Braylen participated in her very first Awana Grand Prix Pinewood Derby race. She and Daddy made her car. Braylen chose the paint colors: Pink (of course!!), blue (because it is Daddy's favorite color) and green. She decided how she wanted to paint the car and did most all the painting. We just helped her touch it up. We tried preparing her for the fact that she may not win (Brad knew she wouldn't because he didn't really add weights, and cut a fast design, etc...). But when we got there, she saw the trophy table and was determined to win!!! She was in the first heat and her car won all four times! Unfortunately, there were more heats in her division and she didn't have the fastest times. She was very disappointed that she didn't win. She was in tears! We were trying to comfort her when they announced that they were giving trophies away for design of car. They called: 3rd place Braylen Fleck!!! She won a trophy and was oh, so proud and happy and I think Brad made it home with most the buttons on his shirt, but I am sure a few popped off! We were so proud of her. That trophy gets carried wherever Bray goes! Enjoy pics of the day!
