BIG DAY!



Wow. We have been so busy and I am way behind in my blogging world.  So sorry.  I will try and catch up quickly.  In August we were notified that Sam had won a contest he entered through JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) and FORD.  We were all very excited.  He had to design a race car. We were so proud of him!!!  So, after winning the contest, which he raised $6801.00 towards research for Juvenile Diabetes, we were flown to Indianapolis to see the actual race car with his design, meet the driver and watch the driver (Bob Tasca III) qualify.  It was an amazing experience for us all.  The people could not have been nicer and they treated Sam like a celebrity.  He loved it!  Actually, he loved playing with Bob's six year old son more.  We were there for three days and had some great family time with him as well as a wonderful experience.  Here are some pics of his car and our trip.  GO BOB!!!!
