Last Friday Joshua and Zara's school had a Thanksgiving BBQ. During the afternoon there were football matches and then a Pinewood Derby competition. For those of you who are reading this and have no idea what I am talking about then you are not alone because I was in the same boat not that long ago. Bascially, the children buy a wooden car and can design it however they wish. The cars are then raced down a track to see who is the winner. The rules are quite strict with regards to the dimensions and weight that the car is allowed to be. Joshua and Zara really got into it so bought two kits to race. I wish I could show you some photos of the race but the lighting was really bad so hopefully will get some photos from school. Below are the two cars that Zara entered and the one on the left was the winner whereby she got first prize. In Zara's group the girls came out on top winning all places, first, second and third. Zara was so excited she could hardly contain herself. It was a lot of fun to watch.
In amongst all of that there was a massive BBQ. Simon was one of the guys grilling and he said he had never seen so much meat. It just kept coming and coming. We believe there were about 200 people there if not more. It made our MAF BBQ`s look like a piece of cake.
The school did a great job putting it all together and everyone seemed to have a lot of fun. The joys of going to a different school and experiencing new things.
