I think I'll go to Boston

I was hoping to upload pictures from Rakes' first T-Ball game and Trot's first haircut, but one of the Axis of Evil has hidden the cord to use with the camera. So you're all forced to look at more really bad pictures I took at Fenway Park over the weekend.

Somehow, my crappy camera caught Manny just missing being beheaded on Saturday.

The scene of Elmerpalooza. Be jealous, Miles. Be very, very jealous.

Manny paying absolutely no attention whatsoever during batting practice...
Heh. Pedie is REALLY short.
Even with a cloudy sky, it's still awesome.
Hopefully I find the cord tomorrow; if not, you may be subjected to really bad pictures of Papelbon, Daisuke, and the bullpen Parrot. Hopefully it's tied to the neck of some Power Ranger toy downstairs.
If not?
Well, how much pain can you take at one time?

Ted D said...

I wanna go back.

Now.

Tex said...

Ted D said...

Tex, as much as I missed my wife and kids?

I'm ready to go back RIGHT NOW.

What a fantastic weekend.

Tex said...

we're gonna have to bottle this so we can drink it between visits

Ted D said...

I'm down with that, Tex.

Bickley said...

I'll take all the "bad" pics of Fenway park that you can muster, Ted. I'll have some of my own in July, k?

Ted D said...

Deal, Bickley.

I'm gonna kill these kids; I just know they've got the cord tied to some GI Joe action figure somewhere.

First of all, you *better* share your Fenway photos. And second of all, do *not* discount that Manny photo because you have *no* idea how hard it is to catch an action shot like that unless you literally spend the entire game snapping photos (because there's bound to be action in one of them) or it happens completely by serendipity.

Tree Newt said...

Dawn, he DID spend the whole game taking pics, I'll bet! He said he took like 700 pics!

Tree Newt said...

And how can Ted get away with calling anyone "REALLY short?"

Tree Newt said...

And happy birthday, old man.

~**Dawn**~ said...

Tree Newt: I am not one to cast stones in that department. You've clearly not seen *my* Sox photo gallery. LOL! When they come to Tampa to play the Rays, I see most of the game through my camera lens. And as big as my photo albums are for each game? I've only shared the better shots, with anything so-so weeded out. And I *still* don't have a great action shot like that!

Ted D said...

Dawn, unless I find that cord you'll be seeing them for the forseeable future. I still can't believe I caught Manny like that.

Mattie, you'll be happy to know Trot is currently terrorizing Caroline downstairs at Mom's as I type.

Yep: I iz old.

Tex said...

Happy Birthday Lil Brother!!!!!!!

Tree Newt said...

Tell that boy to take it easy on my little one! Your hoodlums might affect her delicate disposition!

Ted D said...

Thanks, Sis!

I'm planning to celebrate by eating @ Cracker Barrell and watching the Sox play Oakland until 2 a.m.

The only thing better would be if I was back at Fenway.

Ted D said...

She's a bit tempermental, Mattie.

I'm thinking the new baby will be quite the adjustment for her. ;)

Nichole M said...

GI Joe is sinking in a bed of quicksand... the cord is instrumental in his rescue. Priorites, man.

That pick of Manny doing the limbo is so. freaking. sweet.

JMP said...

Ted,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! (what day was it??)

Great pics of Fenway!!!
Manny doing the limbo is priceless!!!
And don't second guess yourself ... your pics are great!!!

Have fun at Cracker Barrel!!!! If I was there I'd get the Chicken Fried Steak w/ mashed and Southern style green beans!!! YUM!!!!
( I love southern cooking!!!! )

Ted D said...

True, Nichole.

Thanks JMP. It's actually today; the Fenway trip was my birthday present.

Cracker Barrel is my all-time favorite place. Yes, I'm easy to please. ;)

Nancy said...

That Manny photo is rockin'.

Ted D said...

Honestly Nance, I have no idea how I got it with my camera. I'm hoping Kelly caught the whole sequence with hers.

Happy birthday, young'un!

Krystle [RSO] said...

Ted, the big cousins are always supposed to terrorize the little cousins! I know, I'm the youngest cousin ;].

Fenway...you know, the only pain for me is the fact I'm not there...

As i've read that it's your birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope watching a game up to 1AM is a great birthday gift! For me? I have an 8 o'clock start =].

Ted D said...

Thanks for the hygs, Becks. And for the well wishes.

Kyrstle, sorry about all the torture you used to get. :)

And thanks for the birthday wishes. 1 a.m. isn't so bad.

Krystle [RSO] said...

It wasn't THAT bad. I mean my family is ALL girls so it wasn't terrible.

I think a new camera is on my graduation/birthday list only because of Fenway. Is that such an embarassing thing to tell your family for a reason for a new camera?

Ted D said...

Sounds like a perfect reason to me, Krystle.

I know this much; next time I go, it'll be with a better camera.
