Formula 1

Formula 1 racing is a big deal here...something like Nascar in the US. Steve and Michael like to watch the F1 races when they can (the races are often on Sunday mornings during Sunday school) and Michael is quite the fan. They watched the time trials last Saturday morning and when it was done Michael had the idea of making his own F1 car. He thought about it all day and finally in the evening he called Steve upstairs to show him his car. His car consisted of the sofa with the cushions off and turned on end, pillows, the remote control of a car, a booster car seat, and a Thomas the Train tent. Steve really got into the spirit and they had a race. Steve and Maira were part of the crew following every part of Michael's performance through their computers and were in constant communication with Michael through microphones. Michael won the race (of course!) and he was awarded with his trophy (can of tennis balls). Maira couldn't be left out, so she got 2nd place. Then the tennis ball can also served as the bottle of champange that they shake up and spray on the crowd.
