This past weekend, Addison and her daisy troop participated in the Powder Puff Derby (the Pinewood Derby for Girl Scouts.)
Although she was not thrilled to be participating, I know she had fun once the races got started. Mark and Addison worked on her car on several different occasions to make it just perfect. Addison always seemed to enjoy working on the car with Mark, she just kept complaining that she didn't want to go to the derby. Well, since I am the leader of the troop, she had to!
Her car was not very fast and the disappointment on Mark's face the first time it raced was so sad. She raced 4 different times and her little car usually came in 3rd or 4th place. Addison didn't seem to mind. She was having fun with her friends!
Here are most of the girls in my troop. Getting ready for the race.
She might not admit it, but I know she had fun!
Anxiously waiting for her car to race.
In the end, they all seemed to have fun. The Power Puff Derby was a great event that I think all the girls enjoyed. It was packed with lots of families cheering on all the girls.
These two working on the car together for hours on end means more to Mark than anything in the world. It was a great daddy daughter event! Hopefully Addison will be excited to participate next year.
