Pinewood Derby and Uncle Mike

Last weekend Kenny's Uncle Mike came into town from Florida. Kenny's Aunt Emmy died of cancer a couple summers ago, but we love her husband Uncle Mike and don't get to see him often, so we were so excited to spend some time with him.

Friday all the adults went to Garcia's for dinner, which was a hoot for several hours (I'm sure the other tables around us weren't as thrilled, but we had a great time!). But we were so busy having fun, nobody got any pictures!

Saturday just happened to be Tyler's Pinewood Derby, so the whole family came! Our stake had it set up for each ward throughout the day.

They had cardboard cutouts for pictures, made "pit passes" for each of the boys with their pictures on them and had music and sound effects during the races.

Tyler had a huge cheering section, for the one race he won! (We're those parents that actually let him build his own car, which I thought was the point of the whole thing, so it's more creative, then speedy!)

But, he still had a lot of fun, especially when he won the Flat Tire Award cake for last place.



Afterward, we raced Ryan's car with Makenna's car, neither of them even made it to the finish line!


After the races, we wanted to go out to brunch, but we couldn't find anywhere that would seat a party of 20 within an hour, so we picked up KFC and and drinks and went to Skylkine Park and let the kids run and play.

Later we all played card games and ate ice cream.
It was a great time!!
