A rockin’ Earth Day

We celebrated Earth Day’s 40th anniversary in Boston at a free They Might Be Giants concert on the Rose Kennedy Greenway. It was pretty much an all-day affair, and we headed down there with Kathy, Phoebe, Julia, Kate, and Sadie. The place was packed with people and the weather was doing all sorts of crazy things, but we ultimately had a great time. Sylvie loved people watching, dancing, and checking out the band. She crawled around the crowded sidewalks like she owned the place. No fear, that kid. On our way back, we accidentally wound up taking every color subway train, which pretty much made Phoebe’s and Julia’s century, and which allowed Sylvie to (finally!) take a nice long nap. Apparently the screeching of the rails and the rumbles of the engine lull her right to sleep. What a nut.
