Today is Hunters Pinewood Derby. He is so excited, He was given his car over 1 month ago and Russell had the entire car cut, sanded, painted and decorated within 24 hours. So this day was a long day waiting.
On Hunters 1st run he was so excited his car took 2nd place. He was jumping up and down.
Here is a picture of Hunter after his car ran its 1st race.
This was a big day in Hunters life, Not because its the pinewood derby of course. After the 1st run of Hunters car one of the kids picked it up at the bottom of the track and dropped it and bent the wheel. At first he though it was Easton. He was so upset. He put in on the track the next time up and he took 4th place. He was not happy. He started to cry and went out in the hall and didn't want to race it any more. Russell talked to him and told him that like this pinewood derby race that things in life happen good or bad that you don't have any control over and its up to you to decided how to react. Hunter being so responsible and wiser than he is old. Came back into the room ran the rest of his races and took 12th place over all which is good and the lesson learned it one that we would never have been able to teach him on our own and look at how much he learned. What a special boy. I love him so much.
