Awana -Grand Prix Car time!

This year at Awana, Zachary is in Sparks.  This means, among other things, that he is old enough now to participate in the Grand Prix car races.  For $10, you get a nifty block of wood, 2 axles, and 4 wheels.  It is up to you to make the thing awesome.  The night we got the car was the night I took him to Awana.  It was the first night you could get your car cut out into shape by the volunteer woodworking guys.  But first you had to DESIGN your car.  And what does Zach want...the Batmobile of course.  And he is looking at ME to draw where the necessary cuts should be, showing the men with the saws, where to cut.  Yikes.  After consulting wikipedia's site for Batmobiles on my phone, I did the best I could.  Thank the Lord that the guy cutting out the cars was a Batmobile freak and cut it out from memory which was very different from what I had drawn.  WHEW!

The race is at the end of the month, so Zachary needed to get started painting it.  We looked up hundreds of batmobiles online, and finally found what we wanted.  Here he is getting started.  Sadly, he got bored pretty quickly, and mommy ended up painting the 2nd and 3rd coats.

I also love that he is spiderman while he paints Batman's car.  Seems wrong somehow.
