Trout Club 2011 - fishing

Fishing was Richie's FAVORITE activity this year.  Every time he had a free second, he wanted to hit the boat.  Unfortunately when Chris took him out, they had a slow start and didn't catch any keepers.  Because of this Richie wanted to go fishing with his old fishing buddies: Grandpa and Aunt Donna Jo.  He remembered the fun(ny) times they had last year (when they trout pooped on them!!) so he asked for a reunion trip.  They wound up catching the fish that you see in front of Rich at the breakfast table.  Eating your fish at breakfast is a Trout Club tradition that Rich did NOT want to miss.  Unfortunately it was a little more than he could handle (he threw it up), but he promised to have a stronger stomach next time.

This year was Angela's first time fishing.  As you can see below she LOVED it.  She also enjoyed just taking boat rides a lot more than last year.  Her life vest finally fit her which seems to have made a big difference.

Singing the ABC's

So I finally got it on camera although it isn't his best effort. For those of you who have been around us recently, you know how Rich sings the ABC song ALL DAY LONG. It is obviously his favorite song and he is really good at it! In this video he misses a lot of the letters because he does not want to be taped. But he literally knows all the letters and the ending. I guess he was developing his verbal skills when he was sitting on his bottom for all those months NOT crawling. This was taken this morning and I had to bribe his with a cookie. It was only 9 am, but it was the only way I could get him to do it for the camera.

Celtics courtside!!

Image
At 5:00 Chris got a call from a customer (who happens to live across the street), asking if we wanted his seats for the pre-season Celtics game tonight.  Of course we do!  Yes, it was the first game of the World Series and the Red Sox were playing, but you still can't beat going to a game. Chris had a feeling this guy had good seats, but when we arrived at Row A the kids were ecstatic.  Courtside, directly behind the players seats!  It was so awesome!   They were just feet from us and they were huge.  We could hear the plays they were going to run and then watched them run them.  Angela didn't love the seats because we were almost too close and she had trouble seeing over the 6'7" players!  The game was on ESPN and we were so close to the court that we were also on TV a lot.  My Mom was able to tell me what we were wearing because she watched it.  I found a quick link below.  You can see how close we were. ...
