Parade of Champions

Some of you may have heard that one of the hometown sports teams did alright for themselves this season, turning around their game from being the worst team in the league to the first, with a World Series win that left us all on emotional high this past week.
And for those of us who were in the mix last April when things went awry at the finish line of the Boston Marathon and the Boston Strong phrase was coined to embody the spirit of New England, a victory parade along that Marathon route to celebrate the World Champion Red Sox was an event that clearly, we could not miss.
So with that, it's off to Fenway, beards and all, with cousin John in tow!
Heather is having a banner year at school, just like the Sox 
Proudly touting his Boston Marathon colors 
Two days into No Shave November, and Jackie is already boasting a pretty good beard 
Damn right 
Why yes, we are the Champions 
Horganing with the best of them 
My baseball babes 
We are, indeed
Out on Boylston Street, we united with our Lowell neighbors, the Hatems 
Lowell was well represented at this parade.  Over 2 million people at the parade, and we still managed to find one another!

Trophy time!

A bearded Green Monster 
And finally, the Big Man himself, boasting his three championships - do we have to say his name? 
Congrats to the Sox, and thanks for restoring a nation's faith in the game of baseball
