A brand new space to record a little of the happenings around here. In the garden, at the beach, at school, doing projects. Right now we are savoring summer. Even though it's foggy and cold out we are loving the slower pace summer brings and all the adventures it's entailed. Camping, camp, Junior Lifeguards, and exploring farms. Open days to fill up with adventures.
Yesterday we ventured up to San Francisco to watch the Giants play ball. They played the Pirates and were clobbered badly. By the eighth inning you could see their shoulders start to sag. But we didn't care too much. We were so excited to actually be in the stadium we had seen so often on TV. To actually see it's green expansiveness spread out before us and the players in person.
I loved going to the game with Eli. He was so excited to go. In the morning we searched around for his orange shirt and black pants and his Giants baseball cap from Grandpa. He loves baseball and has a real eye for the nuances that are happening in the game. On his hand was his mitt, the entire game, to catch all those foul balls that came nowhere near us. Throughout the whole game he was completely focused catching every play. Maybe there were a few moments when he might have been dreaming about being the
catcher down there himself.
We took Nate's friend from Sweden who also loved it. A true American experience. Nate explained the game to him so he could follow it. I think he got the basic idea down. Though there are always those obscure rules that pop up that we're still learning His main comments were "I can't stop smiling" and
"I feel like I'm in a movie."
