Special Olympics Torch Run

What a proud moment - seeing my little Auti and her Daddy and MANY police officers along with all the other JBSRA athletes running by as several squad cars escorted their leg of the torch run. (3 miles)

It was a perfect day for it. Bright shining sun, no rain and just a little breeze. We all traveled from Town Center to Joliet Road with the company of the Bbk Police, Joliet Police and the JBSRA bus. S got into the bus about half way through. Daddy made it all the way!!!!

Mark carried the torch. I HAVE to meet his mother. She must be something. That boy (adult now) is really a success story! I have tears in my eyes every time I watch him do something.

J got to ride in my car and "wait" - which I had to remind him of all the times his sister waits for him while he plays baseball or does TKD or whatever the sport of the month is. It's good for him to experience her life once in a while.

S was pleased as punch and LOVED seeing all the police! I got to see a lot of my favorite tax clients (since we seem to be CPA to the cops lately) :-)

We start camp today. S seems to be VERY excited - couldn't go to sleep last night - up very early this morning. And already on my butt to make her lunch and snack. So summer starts as usual. ;-)
