San Fran!

Kylie and I flew out to NV in July to spend a week with my fam.  The first day we were there, we got up at 4:30 am to drive to San Francisco.  All 16  (7 adults and 9 kids) of us piled into Bapa's motorhome and took off.  It was quite an adventure!!!!  We stopped in Placerville for some breakfast at McDonald's.  As you can tell, we were all a little tired...

We then took off for the Exploratorium!  The kids had so much fun running around and looking at all of the awesome science experiments.  Kylie even enjoyed looking at a few of them!

After a couple of hours at the Exploratorium we went to the Golden Gate Bridge Park. 

Then...  we went to Point Bonita to let the kids run around a little bit more.  I think Kylie finally took a little nap at this point.  :)  It was actually really neat to visit Point Bonita again.  In middle school I had one to a leadership camp here for a week with NJHS.  It brought back lots of good memories!

After this, we stopped at the beach to let the kids play in the sand.  Of course most of them ended playing in the waves and getting soaked...  Good thing most of them had a change of clothes!

Finally, we took off for downtown San Francisco to go to the Giant's game!!!  I may have been looking forward to this for several months.  After we parked the motorhome super far away and for an absurd amount of money, we were dropped off in front of the stadium by our bmpy shuttle. 

We walked across the street to a pizzeria where we bought some pizzas to take into the stadium with us, and then headed in to take our seats.  We had the BEST seats for us!  There was room for the kids to walk around and we were the only row where we were, so we couldn't disturb anyone.  It was great!  And of course, my mom bought beards for all of the grandkids, after all, you have to "fear the beard!"

CHEERING!!!

All of the grandkids with their beards, except for Kylie and Trevor.

The first pitch was at 7:05 and it was quite an uneventful game until it was all tied going into the 6th or so.  Then came the extra innings...  haha!!  By the time that 11:00 came around, more than half of the kids were asleep on our laps...  :)  We decided it was time to go.  As we were walking out, we came around a corner and heard the announcer say, "its a long fly ball into right field, and it's out of here!!!"  My dad and I saw it on the television screen by the consession stands and the fans went CRAZY!!!  We were practically trampled by all of the fans running out of the stadium.  It was a great night!!!  I sure hope this made sense...  Kylie has been climbing all over me for th past half hour...  :)  Anyways, it was a great trip to San Fran packed into 24 hours!
