A few weeks ago Grandpa Wall called and asked Alex if he would be willing to share his prize winning pinewood derby car. Grandpas office was having a race, and Grandpa wanted to win! Naturally, he looked to Alex, knowing that Alex had a winner in his pocket! So we wrapped that "silver bullet" up in a whole PILE of bubble wrap, and sent it out to Utah to race.
Grandpa wanted to keep them all in suspense so he brought the car to work in this nifty box. :-) Gotta keep em guessing!
Here the Silver Bullet, is lined up waiting for his race. There were cars that were regulation, and cars that were built for fun and speed. Alex was set to race against all the other regulation cars.
AND HE WON!!!! Again! Fastest little pinewood derby car ever.... At least according to Alex, he thinks it just may be the FASTEST IN THE WHOLE WORLD! LOL He loved that his Grandpa called on him for help. He is so proud of his car, and so proud that it was able to win another prize with Grandpa! This is the best thing that could have ever happened for this boy... thank you Heavenly Father for tender mercies, even in the form of pinewood derby cars, my boy needed it!

How COOL is that??? That is so awesome! I love it, and I love that David asked. Very cool!
I know that this has helped Alex's self-esteem. That is so awesome that it was able to be used again. Dalten can't wait for next year so that I can do it too.
AWESOME!
This is so cool! He will remember this forever! How's his eye?
rock on, alex!!
Good name for your car Alex! Did you know that back in the 1980's your other Grandpa was known as the SILVER BULLIT? His trusty SPEED RADAR DETECTOR went with him everywhere. The name is in the family .
I am so happy for Alex!
Very fun. Good for Grandpa for making it special for him.
Way to go alex! You better watch out-everyone is going to be calling for car designs:) hehe:)
