Indy 500 Trip 2009

Every May Steve's dad gets tickets for the Indy 500 race and a big group of us go. This year was a bit different. Bud and Eileen stayed back with Cheryl, Missy, and Sam, while watching Jacob for the day. Jacob loved his time with his grandparents and auntie, and cousins. Steve and I went to the race with his Uncle Brian, Aunt Penny, and Peg and Dick, who are friends of the family. We met up with Ariel and Haley and Logan. Ariel got hospitality tickets so we were able to eat and drink all day for free! We all had a great time. The weather was great! Steve and I spend the rest of the weekend with his family.


Jacob on the way to Indy...10 minutes after this picture was taken he had enough of his car seat.

Lots of people...lots of drunk people after the race!

Steve and his uncle Brian after setting up our tailgate area.

Steve next to some car. Ariel also got garage passes so we were able to go check out all the cars.

Here we are sitting at our seats during the race. It was a hot one!


The kiddies enjoying an ice cream treat taking a breather from the race.

Logan taking a rest from the heat. We were all very thankful for the extra room in front of us so we could stretch out.

Richard Petty was at our tent. He took a picture with all the kids and signed some tickets.

Steve and Ariel wearing their earphones....hehehehe

Cute picture of Haley and Logan.
