I got to be a part of a really special event this morning. @joyridecarsorg is an event that pairs owners of high end exotic sports cars with kids who have various kinds of disabilities, and takes them on literal joy rides! I love cars, and I love kids, but I was not expecting to be so emotionally impacted seeing the faces of these kids enjoying laps around a closed circuit. I shot a few of these images through watery eyes, feeling very connected to the suffering these kids experience and at the same time marveling at their joy. It reminded me so much of Marlow and the highs and lows our family has experienced this year. Kids ranged in age from toddlers to teenagers, and the cars ranged from subtle @porsche’s to flamboyant Vipers with lime green paint and everything in between. The car in the first image is a Porsche 918, and it was absolutely stunning. A million dollars well spent. My favorite image in the set is the fourth one. I see myself in that young man, absolutely losing his mind getting to sit in a @lamborghini. If you know of anyone who’s child might enjoy something like this, check out @joyridecarsorg’s website! #joyridecarsorg
The thrill of being taken downtown for live music was almost too much for these two to bear... 🙄 #braunfamilyof5 @differentandthesamemusic

I got a new camera today, so I took the kids to the park. We had fun. -|- -|- -|- -|- #fujifilm #fujixshooters #fujixe3
 
After being gone for a week he’s home. ❤️ Today the official countdown for vacation started. I’m making to-do and packing list and getting all the work done! #braunfamilyof5
Today we all agreed that this is how summer nights should end. All us adults went full on pool and jumped off the diving boards (a few even doing flips!), slid down the slide and got soaked under the mushroom waterfall. My family even came to Dayton to swim for a bit and I’m so glad they did. I’m falling hard for summer, this one has been on of the most fun and restful ones yet! Thanks for the photo @natalieherr, I don’t have many with me actually in them 😆 #braunfamilyof5
Cousin Wyatt is here for a few days and now there’s two Chatty Cathys in the house. #braunfamilyof5
It crushes my heart to see her out there chalking alone knowing her sister won’t be there to join her. But let’s be real, it’d be more of a “I’m going to eat your chalk instead of draw with it” situation but still in it together. I’m thankful Finley handles her alone time pretty well and God gave her the biggest mind full of imagination. #braunfamilyof5 #marlowjanebraun
