We spent our last few days in Texas taking it easy in the Steiber's fun backyard. Ambiana loved the hammock...
...while Elyse and Colleen enjoyed a game of Poolyball. Elyse got her butt whipped by both Colleen and Moch and Moch whipped Colleen to take the 1st Poolyball title. Papa Mark declined to compete...maybe next time :)
Ronda has some cuddle time with Ya in the hammock as the dogs stand by :)
Back in Boston
We had a chance to visit with Katie and Maya when we arrived back in Boston but it was all to brief as we headed back to Erving for Gaelen's end-of-the-year school picnic.
RED SOX vs. MARINERS
Eden's Dad John got some tickets for the Red Sox game on Friday and I tagged along for the ride just to be in the Fenway Aura. I watched the game on TV at a nearby pub and as the Sox were getting killed 6-0 by the 6th I decided to take a stroll around the outside of the park.
To my great surprise I came across a bar on Landsdown St, open to the public, under the centerfiled bleachers with a view out onto the field through one of the garage style doors in centerfield. It's called the
Bleacher Bar. I was amazed and spent 2 innings here watching the game from this unique perspective. Because of the grate it wasn't easy to make out what was going on in the infield but still it was pretty awesome!
They have some neat artifacts inside such as this flagpole and the centerfield distance that were blocked off from public view when the park was renovated way back when.
At the end of the 8th I went back outside and tried my old trick of swimming against the current of fans leaving early and got in to see the final inning with Gaelen and John. They had moved from their original seats but thanks to cell phones I found them easily enough. Even though the Sox lost 8-0 it was still a lot of fun!!!
