So, after we made it into the park with the three older kids walking with their heads ducked down staring straight at the ground and clutching onto our shirts to guide them, and Jonah cluelessly staring wide-eyed at all the creepy dummies and repeatedly asking me why all the mean, scary guys were looking so mean and scary, we concluded that there was just…

Let’s Go Bruins
In anticipation of the big game this coming Saturday, here are some shots from tailgating Tsai-style earlier in the season. Beat ‘SC!
