Luc with his Lively Landscape Mobile competes in Langley's Soup Box Derby


The prize! Luc with daughter Marina at the finish line


Marina watching the race from the curb, ready with umbrella for a possible down pour.

Above & Below: Luc and his friend Luke (yeah, same name different spelling) competed in the Soup Box Derby in Langley on Sept. 20th. Luc made the bicycle-inspired 3 wheeled vehicle and adorned it with fresh flowers and lawn chair. It was quite rainy, but lots of fun for all of us!

The Two Luc/Lukes in their costumes to match the flower mobile: bee and daisy. Aren't they brave?
