the red sox are celebrating fenway park’s 100th birthday this year. on april 20th we attended the game that was the official party. anyone who has ever played for the sox were invited to return + there was a patriotic-tear-dripping-jets-flying-overhead ceremony for the hour before the game started. it was beautiful. the sox were playing the nyy, and both teams wore vintage uniforms. it was very cool. a day in baseball history to remember. husband and i went with miss fourteen + danny.

before the game started, everyone was given sparkling apple cider to toast to another 100 years at fenway. cheers to our beloved team! there really is something magical about baseball games at fenway.

Boston Celtics

April 11, 2012

we finished our easter by checking one more thing off our “while we live in boston – adventures” list!

we attended a boston celtics game at the TD Garden as a family! husband, myla, and i had gone to a game together last month but the other three kiddos hadn’t had the experience yet.

fyi: if you attend a game, pre-game until the end of the 1st quarter there is free face painting near the doors for sections 14-15. they also hand out free shamrock balloons in the same spot!

sela was on the edge of her seat every time the celtics dancers took the floor.

green.

March 21, 2012

we drove into the city, found a great spot to park on west street. walked around enjoying the sunshine. had hot dogs and sodas at the boston common. we rode the T out to south boston for the annual st patty’s day parade – lots of green traveling on the subway!

we waited two hours for the parade, but made it to the front for a great view! the parade was fun, simple, festive – lots of bagpipes, armed forces, star wars, and saint patrick!  we left early. we are not really parade people… i recommend going to it once in your life,
