World Series Champions!



Erik and I took Oliver and Lael to the Giants Tickertape Victory Parade in San Francisco. Yes, it was crazy. But it was a Wednesday, which was the kids' early day, so they only played hooky from school for 3 hours. The picture to the right was the view we had. There were tons (hundreds of thousands) of people there at Civic Center. We saw the cable cars go by with the names of the players on top. We put the kids on our shoulders so they could see the players inside the cable cars. We then braved the crowd milling about in front of City Hall and bought a pin and pennant and left to make our 2 pm dentist appointments. The BART system was overloaded and we had to go down a station and get lucky, but we made it to our dentist appointments in Sunnyvale only 20 minutes late. It was an experience at any rate! But we were glad we left Henry with a friend. We didn't know if they would ever get the chance again so we had to do it!
