Awana Grand Prix

The Awana Grand Prix last night was really fun! We didn't bring home any trophies, but both kids behaved admirably, cheering other cars on and smiling at the end of every race, though they were understandably dissapointed as we came home. They soon began talking about designs for next year, though, and all in all, I think it was a good experience. Here are some pictures.

The highlight of the night for the Meesters: The Awana kids have been saving money since January for their Adopt-a-Club club in Amman, Jordan, and they made a dual contest. The kids put the money in jars with pictures of the Awana leaders, thereby voting for the leader who would receive a pie in the face at the Grand Prix. At the same time, the clubber who completed the most sections in that period of time would be the one to throw the pie. So here are pictures of Aimee throwing the pie!

Hey, that's really cute! For some reason I was picturing a car they could actually ride in, like the Soap Box Derby. LOL This seems much safer. ;)

Love the pie-in-the-face shot!

So Aimee was able to overcome the sensory issues involved with smooshing pie in someone's face! Good for her! I bet that had the kids talking long after the show was over. And congrats on their sportsmanship!
