Russ's Bachelor Day

No comments:
Russ is getting married next week so a few of the guys from work took him out for day of bachelor activities on Saturday. The day started with two hours of paint ball in the woods just outside New Haven. Everyone had a good time even though we were all left with some welts from the paint balls. That's me on the right.Dave, Justin & LeeJustin got a direct hit.After lunch we shot some pool and relaxed with some drinks. Russ lines up a shot.Lee just chillin'Later we hit the driving range at the Yale golf course. Here's Mike missing another ball. Nice form.... and Lee almost looks like he knows what he's doing...then it was back to new haven for some more drinks.

Games Night

No comments:
The warm and sunny weather prompted us to have a few friends over for a BBQ. After some burgers and fake hotdogs we played some games - Cranium & Mousetrap. Tera had never seen the game before but managed to beat everyone. Afterwards we played some Wii bowling and tennis.
This was the moment my mouse met his doom.

Hill Farm Inn

No comments:
We decided to get away from New Haven for a weekend. Jen did some research online and found a farm in Vermont that looked good. It's not very busy this time of year so we were able to book the day before we intended to stay there.

St. Paddy's Day Parade

No comments:
Here is a selection of photographs from last week's parade here in New Haven.
I have just realized that out of all these photos there isn't a single one that is distinctly Irish. On the other hand the parade is so big that it takes about three hours for all the bands, dance troupes, clubs, schools, military divisions and vehicles to make their way past.
The star wars costumes have actually become a highlight of the parade for many. Darth Vader doesn't seem too happy to have his photo taken. He's either pointing or trying to choke me with his telekinetic powers. He had about ten stormtroopers behind him and Boba Fett was there too.
