"4th Annual Ball Game", etc.

22 May 2013--Cathy and I were home in Boston for 2 weeks, so we held our "4th Annual Ball Game" out at Hanscom AFB where we stayed.  Marie and her crew arrived first...probably to talk strategy!!! haha

  
 

So once my friend Trudie and then Ellen and a couple of her kids arrived we picked sides and commenced the game.  I forget the actual score, but I think it ended up about 14-8...with my side winning, of course!!!

                      

And here we have the winning team (mine)!!!  Followed by the losing team!!!  And everyone together!!!

  

After the game we all went back to the RV to eat and hang out, with most of the afternoon being beautiful weather.  It was late when it turned quite cold, thus that is me bundled in 2 sweatshirts while I give a ride to Bridget.  That contraption we are on is quite difficult to pedal...my thighs were screaming in pain the next 2 days.

  

We went inside the RV later, where Bridget was having a ball for herself trying to mimic Cathy's body posture.  She just laid down beside Cathy and for some reason found it really interesting as to how Cathy  was sitting there.  She had a heck of a time trying to cross her legs at the knee...it seemed her leg had a mind of its own and just wouldn't go over for her.  What a doll!!!

  

Here's a little of the game action so you can get a feel for it!!!  haha



A few days later Cathy and I went into Southie to see Emily's Spring Show at school.  They were doing a patriotic theme in honor of all those involved in the events of the Marathon bombing, with each class, from pre-K to 6th grade, each getting up and singing 2 songs each.  Emily's class sang the National Anthem and something else.

Cathy and I picked up Peggy and met Marie and Jen at school.  Kristine came later so I don't have a picture (sorry Kristine--haha).

  

Notice in the 3rd picture that Emily is seeing me take her picture.

  

And now, as the curtain closes, she is finally acknowledging that we are there.



And a few days after that we went down to Duxbury to watch Kaleigh's soccer game and hang out at Jen's and Jeff's house.

A couple action shots of Kaleigh.

 

Hey...it's my blog, so it's just me and the little ones at Jen's!!!  haha
