Scooperbowl 2009

The Jimmy Fund does a fundraiser every year where you pay a flat rate and can enjoy as much ice cream as you like. There is everything from Baskin Robbins to Brighams to some fancy italian gellato. Tons of vendors. Yum! Savannah and her friend Maria with the ice cream cups they had eaten.

My boys with their friends Zach and Dallin.

The whole gang. Now just imagine getting all of these kids through Boston on the subway. Together. In one piece. Well, we made it. And even had some fun in the process!

Polo anyone?

Did you say polo? Why yes, I did. Saturday evening we went down to Portsmouth, Rhode Island to a polo match. Fun, fun, fun! I must say that the price of admission was worth the people watching alone. From the wine glasses to fancy 19th century style dresses it was fantastic. We even got to go stomp on the divets in between chukkas (periods of play, for those of you not familiar with the sport).After the match the players ride around and give everyone a high-five. And yes, that is a man in a kilt next to Riley. The U.S.A. played Scotland so there were many a kilt to be seen. Richard was just sad that his was at the cleaners.

Grayson was the only one of our kids with the guts to go grab a game ball that bounced out of bounds. It's actually a lot lighter than it looks. Savannah got it signed by one of the players.

Now, off to my sailing lesson. (Not really. I'm trying to pretend that I'm all upper class-like now.)
