Grand Prix

The CARE initiative is a big part of who SSX is.  It represents our core values – helping kids in NWA.  I was lucky enough to get to work on Amanda’s silent auction committee this year.  It was a ton of work – but so much fun.  Sue-Sue kept the kids Friday so that I could help with set-up.  We raised $12,000 for the children of NWA!  It was a great party.

The event was Saturday.  We went for a run in the morning and Crawford insisted we get out and see the hay that was in a field!

By the time I got in the shower Babe was here.  Do the math – she was here by 9:45 am!  Man, that’s leaving Twist early.

The BIG event was the Grand Prix race.  It was FREE to the public and so much fun.  Glad my mom got to meet some of my co-workers.

Crawford got a race car on his face with a 3.5 because he proudly proclaimed he is 3 and a half.

Con got a flower.

     

Crawford and Cole got to drive the remote control cars.  Conlee wanted to join them so bad!

 

Leave it to kids – their favorite thing was racing the cars on the bleachers – NOT watching the go-karts!

 

The kids really lucked out – the ice cream man made a final lap around the neighborhood.  Love that Crawford picked Spiderman and Con picked Batman.
