Ella went to a ward event where they helped the kids cut out their pinewood derby cars and get weight in them. Ella didn’t care how it was cut so they cut it in a wedge.
She decided it would looked better either like cheese or watermelon…. Lol.
We decided a watermelon slice would be easier to paint and would look brighter. So that’s exactly what she did!
How cool is that?
She was having so much fun painting that she got carried away with the watermelon seeds.
Ella is very creative. She decided to paint a watermelon plant on the back of it! And she even added a little sun! Such a great artist!
To our dismay, Ella took 1st place at our ward level of the Pinewood Derby. She was pretty freaking excited!!
We were a little less excited because it meant staying for another hour or more for the finales with the stake winners from all the wards.
Well we were all super surprised when Ella took 3rd at the finales!!! So 3rd place out of 200 cars! Wow!!
Well we have ourselves a 3rd place champion! Ella took third place out of the whole stake!! That’s third out of 200 cars 😳 🏅
Crazy part is she went to a ward activity where they cut the car, put the weights in and got the car all ready except for paint and putting the wheels on! So we didn’t even have to do much and her car was so fast.
They even drilled different holes for the axles based on the weight and balance of Ella’s car!
We found out it was Brother French from our ward that did all the help building Ella’s car.
We owe him a BIG THANK YOU!
Anyway, it was a day full of surprises!
