Make-a-Wish

Last weekend our family was consumed with the Make-A-Wish car show. It is a week full of getting the cars prepared, selling tickets, and running back and forth to the Civic Center over and over. Some years our family only has one car in, but this was a big year for us. We had five cars there this last weekend. We had move in on Friday night. I chose to take my pictures then so I didn't take a zillion pictures of people I don't know. Saturday and Sunday are so swamped and full!

Papa Tom brought out his Gran Torino since the new paint and interior were finished. Grandpa Ralph brought the 1958 Ford Hardtop Retractable. It always draws a crowd. Most people haven't seen one of these operate before.
Of course we took Dan's 1966 Fairlane. I got all 4 of them in one picture with no one crying. Yea for me!

On Saturday morning, Macy and I ditched the show and the boys and went shopping! We even stopped for coffee. She is too precious one-on-one! Then we met up with the boys for lunch. Branson had taken over the job of photographer with his camera so he snapped our picture.

Branson took a ton of pictures of these.

And these.

These are model cars. Funny to me that someone puts together model cars to look old and junky - just like the Fleischman's like them!

Here is Aunt Krista's car. Uncle Pat claims it, but sometimes he has to remember the truth. Branson likes to angle the camera so the whole car is as big as possible and still fits in the frame.

Here is Uncle Pat's car - his 1957 Ford.

We had a great weekend, and the kids loved looking at the cars. Not to mention the money raised here goes to an awesome cause, and it is a climate controlled indoor show. I don't know if there is another car show this good all year!
