Head of the Charles - 2009

Last weekend we headed to Boston for the Head of the Charles. Every year we go on Saturday to spend the afternoon on the dock watching the races and chatting with all our friends whom we used to row with.. our generation of alumni crowd gets thinner every year, but we'll keep going back as long as there is someone there! We can't wait til the kids get older so we can go up to Week's Bridge to watch the crashes! Rowing was such a huge part of Rob and my college life we want to make sure the kids know all about it! And looking at the genetics they will probably be great candidates for the sport!

This year was Cora's first Head of the Charles! Out of the belly at least! She had a grand old time watching all the people,and of course she was the cutest baby there sporting her BU colors! Next year we'll be chasing her around making sure she doesn't run off the dock!





Caden looks for Padge as he rows past the starting line!
Cole helps find Padge!


Cora is a natural on the erg!


Who is that cool kid? Obviously a future rower!
It was a beautiful day on the Charles! The kids really enjoyed "the boat races". We dropped the kids back with Grammy and Grampy and back to Boston we went to get beverages with gang at Crossroads. Every year it is a great time.. it brings back all the memories of the good old college days!
