The first week of summer, the boys boarded a plane headed for Indy where they ultimately met up with their Uncle Bruce and cousin Sam. Bruce has been graciously asking to take the kids vacationing with him for years, and being the over-protective mom that I am, I am always to stressed to let them go. This year I finally felt like they were big enough to go. My thinking was that they are big and they have cell phones and that they could probably fight off any possible kidnappers. So, they traveled across the Midwest hitting various minor and major league baseball games and attended the Indy 500. Brennan is a Danica Patrick fan now and has her picture in his room and a hot wheel size replica of her car. Just a side note, while the guys were in Louisville, KY, Bruce took them to the house that he and his family lived in when they were children. This would be the house that Mark was told not to go out on because of the loose bricks. Guess what, Mark waited til his parents left, went out on the porch where a brick promptly fell on his head necessitating a Trip to the E.R. And we wonder when our kids fail to follow instruction. I wonder where they got that tendency? Oh, and just an aside. In the pictures where there is suddenly another big boy, that is Bruce's other son, Andew, who didn't trek acorss the midwest because he was at home taking driver's ed. They were able to spend some time together once the boys all got back to S.D.
