On Saturday the kids competed in the local soap box derby race. Emily had decided to "retire" from racing, but they needed someone to race her car in order to get enough racers... thus she raced again this year. It will be the end for her as she barely fit into her car.
Michael started off winning and winning and having a good time. He ended up getting third place. He bobbled in one race, and got into the gutter. That scared him and he said his car was pulling to the right after that.
Michael ended up with a 3rd place trophy and Emily got a participation medal.
At the end of the day we were all exhausted. Michael fell asleep on the way home - he did not even make it down the road from where we were racing before falling asleep. We all just hung around the house and rested from around 6:00 on. After being up at 6:00 A.M. and being outside all day, it felt good to just veg.
I am proud of both kids and what they accomplished with their SBD day.
