Derby Car.

Our first family derby experience. We were way excited to have a ward party that allowed for us to make a new car for P-man. I took Parker to the Scout shop and purchased the Derby Kit. Parker was excited to get a new car. He carried the bag all around. When we went to another store to get more shopping done he wanted to open his new car and play with it. I guess he didn't realize that we had to make it ourselves.
Willie borrowed some tools and cut out the sweet model that you see below. Does it look familiar? We weren't too creative, we looked at the box for ideas!Parker was excited when he got to paint his car green. We found some cheap paint at Home Depot. We would have liked to involve Lincoln a little more during the process of making the car, but decided we didn't want him to die (getting cut by the saw, or sucking on paint).
During this video pay attention to how concerned we are about having Parker get paint on himself.

A lot of good it did trying to keep the paint off of him!! He just wanted to open the paint up and dip his brush in one more time. No harm in that until the lid opened up and it went all over his clothes.

During the early morning bath time we let the car dry. He did do a good job at getting most of the car painted.
The final product. With help from me. The number 2 because that's how old P-man is.

Yes I dressed Parker so he would match his 'Green Monster' derby car. Thanks mom for giving Parker such a cute outfit.
Designs from other contestants.The 'Green Monster' takes second place (with the help of graphite lubricant, thanks daddy-o).

At home we decided to make our own ramp. Parker loves his derby car and will sleep with it on occasion.
