RACING THE CAR...

Oliver and 'The Incredible Hulk'

Finny and Great Grandma Young

Some of the other cars. The boys all did a great job!!!

The boys lined up in the middle of the gym before we started. The lights were all turned off and some music with cars revving loudly started playing. Bishop Dieser would announce each boy and the name of their car and everyone would cheer as a light shone on them. It was a really special time for the kids as well as all of the families!

Watching and waiting to see who won each heat!

Oliver setting up...

Oliver cheering as his car came in first! He won all but 2 races he was in and one of those was a tie! He did great! I love the look on his face when it won... priceless!
