the latest wells family antics

Sadly Team USA is eliminated from the World Cup, but we had a great time cheering them on while they were in it.  On to rooting for Colombia for Uncle Kevin.

After an already busy weekend, our friends the Hamweys invited us to spend a night in the Farmhouse they rented in Western, Mass.  Colrain is an adorable little town (is it even big enough to call a town) near the Vermont border..  The farmhouse is adorable, a huge lawn for the kids to play and the river across the street to wade in.  PERFECT New England vacation with good friends (our friends the Ginsburgs were there as well)!

Yee-haw - the pools open!!

Another friend visit - The Blanco's.  Fun day in the city with friends and roof deck party with more of the "Boston" crew.  Can't wait for Roman and Vanessa to come back!

World Cup Soccer - a dream come true at a slow sports time for Rich! He has been following every team, he can tell you just about every score, he knows what their flag looks like, and he can even show you just about each team on the world map.  The geography lessons that have been coming out of this soccer tournament are my favorite part. On their first official day of summer vacation, Jaime (our summer nanny) took the kids to watch the US soccer game in city hall plaza on the big screen.  They stayed and watch every minute and cheered with the throngs of people there.  Go team USA!

We celebrated the last day of school with an ice cream party at a friends house.  Turned out a ton of friends went and we stayed long past dinner time. Ready for summer break!

Since I had not raced in a while, I decided to join Kara and Lisa in the BAA 10k.  It was a pretty flat race that runs through the city.  We did fine considering the heat and rewarded ourselves with a delicious brunch and bloody mary.  They also had some fun kid races that of course my two loved. Angela and I treated ourselves to pedicures after the hard work of the day.
