Fun on the Fourth

Lots happening over the 4th of July weekend!  A birthday party for Brian's 40th, a night swim, driving out to New Plymouth to watch Addie compete in a show, a delicious ribeye dinner at home, and of course fireworks with the fam!

Boston - Day 4

We opted for a completely different spot at the stadium for this game - out in centerfield. The projected high for the day was 73, but it was the hottest 78 I have ever felt. Everyone ended up with a little sunburn, and we abandoned the seats at the end of the third inning, and opted for walking the entire stadium for the rest of the game. This was actually a really cool way to watch the game from different vantage points and we really enjoyed it! We especially enjoyed another W with Cole tanking, yet again, and Chapman coming in to close out the game!

We found the players' lot and spotted Jarren Duran's rig right off the bat. Pretty cool!

Kendall's new favorite - Fenway Fries!

Not too shabby of a view!

After the game, we decided to get changed and head back down to the Boston Public Market and Quincy Market for dinner, people watching, and a candy shop. There were quite a few street shows, so we also stopped to watch some of those.

Boston....we will be back again!

Boston - Day 3

Another day of WALKING. Holy moly. Since there was no T line that went over to the Franklin Park Zoo, we took a Lyft after the morning rain stopped. The zoo itself was pretty underwhelming, but we made the most of it. (Nothing compares to the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle!) 

After the zoo, we took another Lyft to the complete opposite part of "town" for the Harvard Museum of Natural History. For some reason, I thought this would be really boring for the kids, but it was actually a really neat museum. I put the kids in charge of finding us lunch nearby, and we got to explore quite a bit of the Harvard campus. Their summer school was in session, so lots of students out and about. 

Friday night's entertainment was game two of the Red Sox / Yankees series. What an atmosphere! We did some pre-gaming and shopping, and then headed inside. There aren't many places more magical than Fenway...I had the biggest smile on my face and I loved sharing this place with the kids. Randy was not as enthused, being a die-hard Yankees fan. ;)  However, he was a good sport. We got to see Tolle pitch, and what a game he had! It was an amazing night with a big W!

It's what the kids do, right?

Apparently we were right in line with the TV view for left-handed batters and made TV like 50 times? Who knew!!
