So for my Grandma's Birthday we went to a San Francisco Giants game. Jesse had work so we were going up later than the rest of the fam and my mom waited and went with us. We ended up driving about 3/4 of the way there and then took the train the rest of the way into the city to avoid city parking. It's a disaster without fail every time. That's why even though we live a whopping 45 minutes away I do my best to avoid going into the city whenever I can.
Anyway. Noah's first train ride also happens to be Daddy's first train ride, and Noah's first Giants game was also Daddy's first Giants game.
Now let me say, the train is an interesting place. You have teenage sluts drunk in the back, thinking they are the coolest people in the world, the skater who looks like he might fight you but is super sweet and offers you a seat and the straight laced family who looks terrified they are taking public transportation. Of course the train is full of people with the same idea as us and the A/C is broken so we're sweating up a storm.
We get to the city, get off the train and are greeted by the cool breeze off the bay. Normally I'd be freezing, but since the train was so hot the cold was definitely welcome. We walked down to the stadium and being SF there were already drunk belligerent people all over the streets. Terrifying when you're carrying a month old baby in a front pack. We meet up with my grandfather who has our tickets and since Grandma is in a scooter we are sitting in a handicapped section and get to take a nice elevator to our seats. So glad we didn't have to carry the baby up a ton of stairs, they make me soo nervous because of how clumsy I am!
Noah slept through the whole train ride there, the whole game (2 diaper changes and a feeding included), the whole train ride back and the car ride home. Then he proceeded to sleep another 4 hours before deciding it was time to be up for the day at 5 o' clock.
All in all a good outing I would say!

Cars 2
I heard about a Cars 2 event at The Tech Museum and thought it would be a good place to go check out. We went with Dustin, Trinity and Kira and ohmigoodness. The line was huge! Since it was a free event I expected a lot of people but nowhere near the amounts that were there. While waiting in line someone came around with Lightening McQueen tattoos and the boys and Kira were all over them. Of course my husband, breaking away from the pack, got his on his forehead(which made for a fun date night later in the evening!) So we waited in line, had some awkward interactions, and finally hit the front of the line, got our little decoders and went inside. It was nowhere near as exciting as Facebook made it sound. There was a matching game, free key-chains and magnets, and you got to take pictures with a couple of the cars. After we left we went across the street to the fountain park. Kira had fun running through the fountains, although she wasn't too sure of them at first. We eventually went home and Noah took a lovely nap while the boys played basketball and I made sandwiches and picnicked on the front lawn.

4th of July
So we had no standing plans for the 4th this year, just a lazy day at home(after running a decent amount of errands in the morning.) I cleaned the back patio while Jesse was inside, and he BBQ'd for our house. We ended up having pork chops, chicken, sausages and corn, somehow nothing green ended up on the table. Noah was hanging out with daddy while he BBQ'd and while I washed the outdoor furniture on the lawn. We sat to eat and he was in his bouncer content until we actually started eating. Then little mister wanted to be held and never put down. We sat and ate, passing him around taking turns eating. After cleaning up dinner and settling inside we decided to try and catch some fireworks. Of course our neighbors were setting some off this year that were legit real ones, not just noisy ones, but fun colors in the sky fireworks. We ended up driving to Milpitas just to end up in horrible amounts of traffic. We caught part of a show while driving and ended up a residential street watching the rest of it. Noah decided he was hungry so he ate through the fireworks, but it kept him distracted from the noise of the fireworks. It was a lovely first 4th of July for our new family:)
