Brandon, also known as Spiderman

We met Shannon at Iowa University Children's Hospital this morning. She took us around to meet all of the kids including Brandon (5), our honorary hero in Iowa. Brandon gave each of us a big high-five and then told us about how much he loved Spiderman. In fact, he even told us that he was spiderman!


We took spidey and his family to Outback Steakhouse for lunch, where we met up with lots of friends including Matt, who had been on the road with us in July helping Nick with the documentary (remember? the goofy guy that used to star in all of our tacky pictures :)? We also had some friends from the hospital join us.

We went to bed early tonight because tomorrow . . . we're going for a new record . . .

(for those of you commenting, it does not involve riding on the Interstate)
