Airshow

October 2nd, 2015. (2 years, 8 months old.) by andrew

We went to the airshow and Wow!  They let you sit right up in the airplanes!

This one you could crawl from the cockpit right out through the front!  (Daddy helped me climb down.)

They had helicopters, too.  I got to move the control stick.

Ben went in some airplanes, too.  We took turns.

Maybe next time we can take off!


The Beach!

September 5th, 2015. (2 years, 7 months old.) by andrew

Yesterday, we took my first trip to the beach.  By the time we got there, I’d eaten 5 squeezies, so I was already having a good time.  And then….

Woah.  Look at all that water…. Fun!

Uncle John was nice enough to take me out wading in the water.  We had a great time!

There was also digging and sand castle building with Ben, Avery, and Ollie.  You would not believe how much sand there is at the beach!

(Ed. Note: Andrew had a great time and seemed to love every minute of it.)


First Day of 2nd Grade

August 17th, 2015. (7 years, 2 months old.) by ben

Andrew was there (of course) to give me a warm send-off!

Once we got to school, I met up with my old pals Patrick and Julia!

OK, Dad.  You can go now.  Really.

Really?!


First Flight!

August 9th, 2015. (7 years, 2 months old.) by ben

OK, well it is a first flight in a small airplane, anyway.

My friend Derek invited Daddy and I to go for a ride.  At first a was a little scared, but after Derek practiced a few landings, I could tell that he was a good pilot.

You can see a lot of stuff out the window of this plane!


Baseball Clinic at A’s Stadium!

July 28th, 2015. (7 years, 1 month old.) by ben

Daddy took me down to the Oakland Coliseum for a baseball clinic. We got to go and play on the actual field! And the A’s coaches were coaching us, just like the big league-ers!

Here I am, taking a ground ball from Mike Gallego, the A’s 3rd base coach!

Can you spot me in my Giants hat?  (Daddy, I need an A’s hat… C’mon!)

Then it was on to hitting.

We did rotations through pitching, fly balls, grounders, hitting, catching, and picking off runners (my favorite).

And a big thanks to Chevrolet for putting on this event!  The grounds crew got right to work when we were done as there was an A’s game starting in a few hours.


Giants Baseball Camp

July 3rd, 2015. (7 years, 1 month old.) by ben

The first day at camp, I was ready to go.  We got uniforms (Friday night home game) and everything.  (Ed. Note: Eye blacks courtesy of Daddy.)

On the last day, we had the World Series. CJ started us off with some expert coaching.

Daddy caught me warming up for my at bat.

And I hit a home-run!  Check out my home run trot!

And of course you learn the jumping shoulder bump at camp.  Awesome!

In short, Giants camp was awesome!  And did I mention the trip to AT&T park where we got to see the press box, visitor’s dugout and clubhouse, and Giants museum? Awesome!


Horsey Ride

June 27th, 2015. (2 years, 5 months old.) by andrew

I went for my first horsey ride.  Daddy told me to hold on, so I did. (Sometimes I do listen to Daddy. See?)

I made it!  And I want to go again!


First Golf Lesson

June 14th, 2015. (7 years old.) by ben

Mommy got this video of me at my first golf lesson.

I had fun and am looking forward to more lessons!


Disneyland!

June 9th, 2015. (7 years old.) by ben

Daddy and I took a trip down to visit Grandpa and Nana, and we spent a day at Disneyland!

We started out with Big Thunder Mountain, which Daddy said would be fun and not too scary.

I think he was right.

With that under my belt, it was on to Space Mountain.

We went on three times.  AWEEEEESOOOOOMEEEEEE!!!!

Then we had some popcorn (thanks again, Grandpa!), and it was off to Frontier Land.  We did some shooting and I hit two targets on my first try.

Then I was ready for another big ride, so it was Splash Mountain next.  That ended up being my favorite ride.

Next it was Indiana Jones (awesome), ice cream, Dumbo, the parade, Toontown, train ride, and Splash Mountain again.

Whew!  What a great day!

(Ed. Note: Thanks Grandpa for coming with us.  It was great to have you there!)


Truck Ride!

April 8th, 2015. (2 years, 2 months old.) by andrew

I got to go for a ride drive around the block… in a real truck!

I… will… never… forget…this.  Thank you, David!
