The last time just the five of us- my mom, dad, Chris, Peter and me - went on an outing together was probably a good 12 plus years ago. It was the summer when I was 20. That was the trip where we crammed into my mom's subaru and drove straight to St. Louis to watch the Twins play the Cardinals (The year when McGuire was hitting his home run record). After the game we got a bite to eat, saw the arch and drove back home. Sounds crazy, but it is a great memory!
Fast forward to this summer week, I am now 32. Just the five of us went to the American Idol concert. On our St. Louis trip me and my brothers were all single. A lot has changed in these past 12 years. All three of us are married. Chris has a boy, and I have a boy and a girl. Peter is a newlywed of just a couple weeks, and kids will someday be a part of his future too. And my parents are still the most loving and supportive parents they have always been. This was definitely a night I will remember forever, spending it with just the five of us.
