The Giants Win the World Series!!!!



In my last post I mentioned that one of my favorite things about Fall is all the baseball frenzy!  Well, for once the final team standing was OUR TEAM!  THE GIANTS WON THE WORLD SERIES!   I am happy to say, we are not bandwagon fans!  We have rooted for them since we moved to the Bay area.  My husband trades off taking the kids to games, or we watch them together at home!  It was so fun to watch and cheer!  I almost don't know what to do with myself now that it is over.

Yesterday the city held a parade in celebration of the win.  Since my husband is currently working/schooling in DC, he called and asked that I take the kids to the parade.  It killed him to not be here.  I had a few things planned that couldn't be changed, so I hired a good friend to take the kids.  She was a real sport!

We decided that taking BART was the best option.  This picture was taken on the way home.  Apparently, on the way there, the train was packed and no one could move.  Poor ID got claustrophobic and somewhat upset.





It was quite crowded on the streets of the city and they had a
difficult time at first finding a place to see the parade.  The papers 
say that over a million people attended and 30,000 more people
 than a normal work day road BART.  JC (my awesome friend/babysitter for the day!) got creative and saved the day!  
They were able to see all the players 
and all was well!

I am so happy they got to experience this little piece of history!  They will remember it the rest of their lives!  But just in case the memory fades, here are a few pieces of it!


I am sure KJ has her eyes out for "Timmy!"  Maybe he will wave at her again!


Getting a good view!


GR didn't even complain about having to ride "disgusting, gross BART," 
or having to go into the "dirty city!"




Feeling the love!  Baseball always brings our family together!!
