Since 1996 Rob and I have been going to the Head of the Charles, whether it be competing or being a spectator. The kids look forward to going to the boathouse (which is the starting line of the race) running around on the dock and watching the boat races as well as hanging out with all our old college friends. Once they get a little older we'll venture down to Week's Bridge, which is where all the action occurs as far as potential for crashes! But it is a bit of a hike for the little legs just now.
This year we ran out of time to take them in on Saturday before Rob and I had to go in for some night activities with alumni, so we went back in again on Sunday with the kids. Unfortunately it was a little bit drizzly during parts, but that didn't spoil the fun.. just the pictures ;)
The kids cozy up with Dad on this bench which is under the overhang so we could be outside but not get wet.
Best seat in the house to watch the BU boats go by.. how sad is it that they don't chant the "Ooogie" anymore during the boat launch?! The girls chant some B-O-S-T-O-N- U. song.. it's just not the same!
Caden tries to corral Cole in for the group picture...
Cora wasn't cooperating either!
Here they are! the best we got.. and we failed to get a family picture for the first year since Caden's first HOC.. sniff.. tear!

What no "OOOGIE" You're right it just isn't the same. Aah the memories--those were the days and it seems so long ago!!!!
The kids are going to be able to look back at this tradition of going to the HOC and have such great memories! What a fun time.
