Time flies when you're having fun, and I can't believe Fall is already here. This summer included many fun activities for Blake, and even a few firsts. I'll try to "summer"-ize it all with some snapshots.
 |
| This picture was technically taken before summer started. Back in April, we had a great time visiting Arizona. We got to spend lots of time with some of our favorite people, the Reichs! Unfortunately, we saw the D-backs sweeps the Giants in the opening series of the season. But..... |
 |
| We went to many more Giants games this summer at AT&T Park in San Francisco! They won so many games (way more than the dumb D-Backs and would ultimately clinch the division on Sept. 22nd. |
 |
| Sometimes we took the ferry to the games. Blake loves going under the Bay Bridge! |
 |
| Mommy's 2 favorite Giants fans! |
 |
| A party on the field after yet another Giants' victory! What a treat. Blake loved running around the outfield. |
 |
And we got to meet Lou Seal!
|
 |
| Blake got to spend a lot of time this summer with his favorite cousins, William and Katie. He misses them now that they've gone back home to Virginia. |
 |
| Blake and his cousins try out to be the next anchor team. |
 |
| Of course, the summer wouldn't be complete without some quality time in the water. |
 |
| Blake even went off a diving board for the first time. With Papa. Twice. |
 |
| And perhaps Blake's favorite time in the water was this trip to Lake Tahoe with our friends, the DeBisschops. Here's Blake having a water fight with his dad. Blake, Nicholas, and Maddie spent several hours in the water that day. Good thing it was warm. |
 |
| Blake's first time going to pre-school! He loves his new friends at Tot Town. |
 |
| Inside, there are so many fun activities and toys to play with. |
 |
| Blake especially loved fruit day. All the kids ate a bunch of fresh fruit and then made these silly fruit hats. |
 |
| Sometimes after school, Blake likes to to go the "ice cream maker." (It's really fro yo, but Blake calls it the ice cream maker.) Either way, it's a treat. |
 |
| Speaking of treats, this is Blake helping his buddy Nicholas celebrate his 5th birthday. Blake's favorite part of the party was the cake, of course. Happy Birthday, Nico! |
 |
| Also along with the DeBisschops, we had a fun time at the Academy of Natural Sciences in San Francisco. Here's Blake looking out over some tidal pools. |
 |
| And summer wouldn't be complete without a couple of trips to the Railroad Museum in Old Sac. Blake and I went on this train ride, and he even got to wear the conductor's hat for a few minutes. Cutie. |
