Well, it was time for another eye exam.  As usual, I get to sit in the big fancy chair.

Too bad they won’t let me play with all the buttons on the chair and that big fancy thing with all the knobs.  That would be so cool.

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!

Mommy lets me help her with the housework.

Sometimes I really have to throw my weight around to scrub that spot… wait… that’s not under my chair is it?

You have to be vewwy vewwy quiet to sneak up on and capture those wascally potatoes!

Ok, not really.  But it does help to have a digger (Mommy supplied) and a bowl to put them in.

Also it is more fun when Ben is helping.  And we get to eat them later!  Yummy!

Did you know that there is this train named Thomas?  And Ben has a closet full of Thomases and train cars and tracks!?

And they have Thomas and train tracks at school?  Well, it is all true!

I’m hooked!

(Ed. Note: Some parental help on this track assembly.)

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.

I got to go back for another week of horse camp this summer!  And my trusty steed, Johnathan, is still there!

Each day, we take our buddies out of their stalls…

… walk them to the arena…

… and take them for a spin.  I can trot on Johnathan all by myself now!

After a long time driving, we’re almost there!

Heading in!

Wow!  These are some great seats.  We can really see the players up close!

…like Hunter Pence in right field

Everybody had their Giants gear, of course!  Go GIANTS!

By the end, though, I think the chocolate ice cream (and Giants losing) did me in.

That’s OK, it was a fun ride home with Avery.

Avery got to come with us to Christa’s this year for 4th of July fireworks.

And, WOW, we were right under the fireworks!

Sorry Dad, it is way more fun to watch the fireworks with Avery.

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!
