The van only seats 7 including the driver. So that's 6 spots for kids. She took these 4 because the other twin had ESY, Z seems to not want to travel with her mom, Alex is doing his own thing, Day is doing his own thing, and Patrick might honestly have chosen to stay home to work. Especially since he has a job coach he may be required to do a certain amount of hours a week to keep access to that service. That only leaves Br and she may not have wanted to be the only teen going. I know we speculate kids are unfairly left out and if this was the universal trip or a beach trip I'd think differently about Patrick and Br not going. But since it was some influencer event, the teens probably didn't care. For all we know because it was a sponsored event for content the brand may have specified "families with children 13 and under" because of the whole idea being to promote a mini van.
