It was the annual trip to the Swan boats time again. The eleventh annual trip, we found the weather great and the crowds plentiful. Once again, Jimmy grimaced at the suggestion of our choice of venues and once again, he had the most fun of all of us. I remember when he was just a little tike attached to his mother all those years ago and here we are, all those years later and more little monkeys to enjoy the wonderful day. This year, Kristina joined us. Eileen called me the other day and asked if she could hang with us because Eileen was going to NYC for the weekend and Kristina doesnt like being home alone during the day. We happily obliged. I dont know if she knew what she was in for, We just dont stop........ever. But from all reports she had a blast.
Loving the carousel in the Common.
Laura hit a home run from this point. Jimmy had hit one too and he just couldnt let that happen so he got that look in his face during his next time up and kept crushing the ball. One went right off my thigh....ouch
While Jimmy was shagging some fly balls in the outfield, he took his sandals off and got stung by a bee. He's allergic so his foot just swelled right up. not so much fun. He went into the wading pool and soaked it but its still swollen a day later.
After the swan boats and baseball we all loaded up in the swagger wagon and took a trip to the North End for some pizza and desserts. It was packed with people but we were lucky enough to get a seat at the pizza joint and our favorite dessert shop. Incredibly, we made it back in one piece.
