Powderpuff Derby 2008

So Hannah's car didn't win... but it didn't come in last either! Man were there some creative and cool cars. Here's a few-- I think there were 75 cars total. Notice the lipstick one on the bottom left, the pencil, and then there's even a ballet slipper. Now most of the fast ones weren't fancy looking at all. It is really a science that you can spend days pondering. I think we'll be a little more competitive next year :)

So here was one of the races, they start by lining the cars up at the top of a ramp. Then they hit the red switch you see in the very bottom of the picture and all the wooden pegs in front of the cars drop.

Here's the finish line. Hannah's car raced 6 times, once in each lane. Most of the time Hannah's car came in 4th...

But there was this one time that it came in 2nd. The car that is 1st here actually was the 3rd fastest car in the whole competition.

Here Hannah is getting her participation patch and trophy.

This is her attempt at a smile...

...but this is how she really felt!

I did too!
