Boston Tourists

Oscar and Joanne came to visit Ojo for the Fourth of July.  They did a bunch of tourist stuff with Ben all week and we caught a Pearl Jam concert.  I wasn't there for most of the tourist activities, but I'm pretty sure the highlights were: discovering lobster tails (pastry), climbing the Bunker Hill Monument, and seeing the cart escalator in Nashua.

The highlight for me was collecting on a friendly wager Oscar and I had.  It was something about the Red Wings vs Stars match-up in the playoffs.  (When did Texans decided they know anything about hockey?)

He was supposed to wear a Yankees hat downtown, but he was afraid he'd get beat up in an alley so I accepted a change to the payoff.  Check out the video and pic below from the Boston fireworks.



Don't worry Oscar, we know you don't really hate us.

Yes, there just happened to be a Superman cape laying around the house.

O.M.G. That's all I've got.

Oh, Oscar...that's priceless. That's the best thing I've seen in a LONG time. Laugh out loud funny, tears in the eyes funny :) You know, I bet you could have gotten him to do that anyway. Just tell him no Best Buy until the cape is worn.


ps. no one is surprised there was a cape...I mean, c'mon. ;)

I know, my favorite part is when he spontaneously pops the flying pose about 30 seconds in. :)
