Jeremy and Kya worked pretty hard on making sure this year Kya would have a competitive car at the Pine Wood Derby. They learned certain teniques and gave extra attention to detail to get it just right. Kya had the fastest car about a month ago at the ward level competition. He received some ribbons and bag of gummies bears (which is always exciting for a kid). It also allowed him to go on to the district level races in Honolulu. It was intense....I think more so for the Dads! Jeremy was so tense and even a little upset that he was 2 grams under the weight mark.
Ultimately Kya ended up at 6th place out of 40+ cars. He even had the over all fastest run time....but unfortunately the average of all his run times wasn't enough to give him a trophy. 
At least not this year......"We will come back next year stronger". (Jeremy's words) Those of you who know Kya would expect as we did for a complete melt down, although he was the best sport and actually seemed pretty happy about where he placed. He was rewarded with a new video game....what little boy wouldn't love that!
