attention race fans

Feret had his District Pinewood Derby last night. There were tons of people there. You could hardly walk through the place. It was held at the mall in a large hallway. The track was set up on one side and it was on a platform. I could not even see it from where we were! We watched the first couple of races then we went to get something to eat in the food court. When we came back we noticed that the people had really cleared out. I guess we took a while eating cause the races were almost over. I looked on the table where the cars were and seen Ferets car there. Next to it was a 3rd place trophy, a patch, and a metal. He had won third place and we missed it. I got the attention of one of the guys behind the rope and asked if they were done with his car. He made a point to congradulate Feret and handed us the car and trophy. Feret really liked the trophy, he even posed for a picture, which is not like him to gather attention to himself.
After the race we went to visit my mom in the hospital. She had back surgery on Monday and had a problem with the pain medication they gave her. She was feeling better though. Feret brought his trophy with him to show Grandma and Grandpa. Grandpa was really happy since he helped Feret cut the wood for the car. We stayed for a bit then went home because Baby was getting into everything and pushing buttons. Plus Mom was falling asleep and the boys had school in the morning.
I called the school to find out if I could put an anouncment about our recent races. They had already put out the March issue (even though I have not seen it yet). So it won't get in till April 1st. Maybe some parents will see the newsletter and join their son up for scouting! Couldn't hurt.
