Their favorite exhibit involved this slide w/ a green screen and a video camera... so as they slid down the slide, they watched themselves in movies with different backgrounds.
They also made some paper bag puppets and played with puppets in the puppet theater
My favorite part was watching them make their own music video. Andrew played back up on guitar and Grace & George rocked "If you're happy and you know it." Andrew also attempted "Please Please Me" solo... but they only played the music (without words), so he was lost and just stood there looking cute... and then took a bow at the end. He was very proud of himself and loved watching the video of himself standing in front of the microphone (not singing) all afternoon. I won't post it... it was too boring.
"If You're Happy and You Know it" Music Video rehearsal
(Liz & I were laughing so hard I could barely hold the video camera)
After some snacks and more pigeon chasing, we said "Happy Birthday" to this cute birthday girl... and then we said bye to the Balenas and we headed off to the Marina.
Our goal was to go running from the Yacht Club to the bottom of the GG bridge and back. I almost gave up a few times as the fog started pouring in... but we made it. The entire run wasn't more than a 5K, but because the path is sand and rocks... and the wind was blowing full force trying to push us backwards... it felt like more than just 5K.
I bribed Andrew to stay in the stroller by telling him on the way back we'd play at the beach. It worked- he sang and ate snacks... and then enjoyed playing at the beaches on our way back... chasing more birds.
You can see some of the fog creeping over the hills in this picture. I loved that we brought three wardrobe changes on our trip today... including winter coats. Yes, summer in SF is chilly!
We also watched the kite boarders. One of the guys came and talked to Andrew and the little dude was soooo excited!
After our run I was freezing... so we headed to my favorite spot in the city for a little hot cocoa and some entertainment.
The pigeons and sea gulls in Ghirardelli Square are always plentiful... so little dude yelled at them to come down from the roof...
... and tried his hardest to reach them
Poor kid had his pants falling down all day. He needs a belt. I've never had that problem, so I always forget to buy him belts. His waist is too skinny. We've had these jeans since last summer and they still don't fit! (size 2T... maybe bc he hasn't gained any weight since then?).
After watching the guitar player at Ghirardelli Square and then grabbing some dinner at the Wharf, I pushed Andrew up several hills back to our free parking spot (quite a feat before 6pm in SF).
We were wiped out.
If only I could've cuddled up and gone to sleep too... I was exhausted!
Fortunately by the time we headed home (7pm), traffic all the way back home was light and we made it back in about 35-40 minutes. It was perfect. We left our house at 11am though... so that was one LONG but fun day!
