we’re slowly making our way all-the-way-around-fenway-park.

fenway is so unique, did you know:

it was built in 1912 and opened on the same day the Titanic sunk {kinda eeery!}
Fenway Park was built to conform to the parcel of land that was allotted to it and the field’s resulting dimensions led to many of the ballpark’s unique features.
Most notably, there’s the 37-foot high Green Monster – the most recognized piece of ballpark architecture in the world – which spans 240 feet before giving way to the area known as the triangle in center field. — The Green Monster has undergone a major transformation in recent years, capped by the 2003 addition of 274 seats atop it.

…a few weeks ago.

shannon & cory brought boston {their 12-year old son} out here for a special birthday trip for his 12th birthday. it was time he visited his namesake city! boston and myla have grown-up with each other at home, and of course shannon & cory are dear friends.

we visited newberry street + went trail running together one morning + played lots of blokus + went shopping + had a little karaoke-concert by the kiddos, sela made a sign for her band, it was called “tea & the band” and she set-up her tea set for us during the show – hilarious little girl! + spent a morning at nahant beach. the taylor family also did lots of other sight-seeing while our kiddos were in school &

news to me: it is a massachusetts state law, that as a parent, you are not allowed to take photos of your child, their school, or any of the activities/events. this is to protect the children/parents from unwanted exposure.

so, i will not be posting any photos this year of such events.

however, when sela started her preschool this fall, because she was a brand-new-student, she was required to attend two “visits” prior to school starting. during these visits i was told it was the only time i could photograph her at school + one of her teachers. so, i took advantage of the opportunity —

these visits were organized by the school for her to go through their entire daily routine in about half-the-time,

…each time we are driving on the massachusetts turnpike, there comes a certain point that husband says,

“there’s….the temple!”

and, each time i look up – looking for the temple.

only, each time i’m just-dyed-blonde-enough to fall for his little game.

because, obviously, he means… fenway park. his temple. ::smiles::

the kids totally know what he’s talking about, they don’t even acknowledge his little joke anymore.

the last time we passed, i grabbed my camera to try & snap a couple pictures while we passed,
because i do love this view of fenway.

i didn’t get the best shot since we were driving so fast…

we are not a very outdoorsy family by most definitions of outdoorsy.

we are a sportsy-active-family, but we avoid most camping/hiking/biking/anything that has’t to do with the REI-store-in general.
it’s just better that way. most of the times we’ve attempted river rafting, camping, biking – it ends in some sort of disaster.

having that said, i will still get the occasional itch to do something outdoorsy.

this time, it involved me BEGGING my family all day to go on a bike ride.
no one wanted to go.

husband actually told me in the middle of the afternoon,
“it just sounds so difficult & inconvenient…”

we have become pros at getting last-minute-cheap-really-great-seats to the red sox games.

because, husband watches the prices plummet on stub hub when the weather reports rain.

lucky for us, the sox still play when it rains!

nancy, my life-saving-sister-in-law who drove across the country twice for us this summer…

yes, TWICE.

she totally deserved a night out to a game after her second arrival.

and, rain was in the forecast.

not only rain, but a hurricane!

moi/husband/nancy
{shorts + rainboots have become a staple outfit for me here in the warm-wet weather}

i’m sure i’ll post about this all the time…
