Making plans for summer.

San Francisco: The Main Event!

In honor of the Giants winning the World Series, we made a pilgrimage to see our heroes play ball at AT&T Park.  Jack's very first baseball game.  Giants vs. Reds.

Marching towards the promised land with hundreds of fellow fans.

You can feel the buzz of excitement in the air.  We are winners!

Free skateboard day!

Jack and Grandma in our AWESOME club seats!

Build-A-Bear at the stadium.  

Jack makes a wish that the Giants will win today!

Thank you Grandma!

View from our seats.

Not bad!  Thanks Grandpa!

Home run!

FEAR THE BEARD!!!!!!!

Last pitch before we have to go catch our plane.  We could hear the crowd go wild as we left the ball park.
Giants won!

San Francisco!

We took a quick trip to San Francisco.  Grandma and Grandpa Stewart were waiting for us there.

On the plane with his travel buddy.

Lunch on the Wharf overlooking Alcatraz.

Chinatown!

On to Ghiradelli Square.

Traveling by Trolley Car.

Graffiti Art.  

Jellies at the Aquarium.

More Jellies.

Touch tanks!

Sea Lions basking in the sun.

Caterpillars!

Painted Lady Caterpillars.  

Coloring Easter Eggs.

First, Jack colored the freshly-boiled egg with crayons.
The heat of the eggs melted the crayons.

Then Jack poured vinegar onto the egg and added food coloring.

Jack was pleased with the results.

Egg Experiment Part 2

The vinegar completely dissolved the shells of both eggs.

The uncooked egg was very translucent.

Jack observed that the hard-boiled egg was more opaque.

Jack tested the uncooked egg to see if it would bounce.
It did.
For a moment.

Field Trip to the Chiquita Landfill

Yes, landfills do smell bad.

Not quite as bad as you'd think though!

Not only did we get to learn what happens to our trash, we met a falconer.  Falcons are used to scare away hundreds of seagulls.

So many seagulls!

 

Once the falcon took to the sky, it was too fast for my camera.
The seagulls took off.
