Dave has been so busy with putting together the last minute details of the coffee nook at BBC that he's had little extra time to help Violet make her pinewood derby car. Violet really wanted a pink sparkly train. He took off work for a couple days last week (one for Valentine's Day, one just because), so he had some time to work on it. She helped him draw the shape of the train and shop for paint/supplies, and he cut it out...and it turned out pretty good. First he spray painted the whole thing black and then taped off the sections to keep black and spray painted pink (many layers!) over the black. He spray painted some random items black from the garage and attached them to look like smokestacks.
Her car ended up winning for speed in the Sparks group. She was pretty excited! Her friend Ivy won first place in design for her car shaped and painted like a #2 pencil.

Dave sure does good work!
ReplyDeleteVery creative car...my goodness...those kids (dads) sure put a lot into making the race vehicles!
Reminds me of the western town you all helped to make...on beyond Z.
Next time use a brick for the body and then she'll win the gravity grand Prix!
Ha...it's all in fun...nice to have a dad & daughter project together...that's the main thing!
Love,
Mom
