yankees v red sox

evan and i both enjoyed sleeping in a bit this morning.  we commented that if craig had been with us, we probably wouldn't have been able to sleep in too much.  which isn't a knock on craig.  in fact, he is really good at packing everything into a trip, which is definitely a perk. 

we decided to do a little shopping in china town, which was actually really fun.  we both bought watches and i bought a few purses and one for caroline.  then evan was nice enough to tag along with me to two knitting stores that i have wanted to visit for a long time.  we first went to purl soho, which was almost a spiritual experience.  i wish i lived right next door.  after shopping at purl, evan took me to a pizza place in little italy where he had eaten in the fall with sean, spencer and doug--it was delicious.  then we went to the lion brand yarn studio, another amazing experience. 

after another little rest, we headed for the bronx!  craig accidentlly bought us amazing tickets to the yankees/red sox game right behind home plate.  they were seats of a lifetime.  we got to yankee stadium an hour early, went to our seats and didn't move the rest of the game.  we didn't even go to the bathroom. 

so the yankees lost and that stunk, but we still had an amazing time.  and the yankees did give it their best effort, coming back in the later innings and only losing by one.  they had lots of chances to score in the last two innings. 

we decided you know you have good seats when you sit right by theo epstein, who is the general manager for the boston red sox:

at home today, jake and caroline finally took their ap geography test, which is a relief to have over for all three of them (craig has put in a lot of hour studying with caroline).  caroline went to the pizza factory for lunch with a whole crew of kids who were also relieved to be done with the test.

isaac, sam and craig are in pocatello at a baseball tournament with the blackhawks.  they played two games today, winning one and losing one.
