Emily participated in a "Powder Puff Pinewood Derby" yesterday through church, for girls ages 8-11. A Pinewood Derby is usually for Cub Scouts, but this time the girls got a chance! She sanded and painted her car by herself.
 |
| Emily's car is the sparkly pink one on the right side, 5th one up, with the stack of nickels on top! |
 |
| Each girl got an award for something about their car. Emily's won "Most Artistic." |
 |
| Emily's car also won first place overall for speed! Yay, Emily! |
 |
So she got the big crown. (She liked the little tiaras better, haha.)
Her friend on her right got the medal for the best sportsmanship, or "Miss Congeniality." |
 |
She keeps her car and trophy on her knickknack shelf.
She painted things on the car to represent things she loves: pink, blue, flowers, a book, a fairy, a horse, and E for Emily. |
Emily says, "I got a blue ribbon, a green glow stick, a green bracelet, and green nail polish." She's going to be ready for St. Patty's Day! When asked about her experience with the Derby, Emily said, "Fun... What else am I supposed to say?"
