Catalina, Fly like a G-man

Making of a Giants fan.

AT&T Park

Catalina attended her first SF Giants baseball game on Easter.  While we are faithful fans, we did not purposely plan to miss church and instead opt for the ballpark.  Keenan bought tickets to Sunday's game unaware that it was Easter (or so he claims).

It took Catalina a while to get used to the hooping and hollering of the fans, but eventually she learned to cope to the noise and fell into a deep slumber on my shoulder.  Good thing she was exhausted because she slept through my rally cries when the Giants took a 6-5 lead in the seventh inning.  However, we suffered a 9-6 extra-inning loss to the Atlanta Braves.  Oh well!  It was a great game and we still left the stadium feeling fly like a G-Man.

Egg-stra Special Day

This year Easter came one day earlier as my husband "accidentally" bought tickets to the Giants vs Braves game on Easter Sunday.  This early celebration came to Adisson's liking as she has been especially eager to hunt for Easter eggs thanks to festive episodes of Dora and Max & Ruby.  We kicked off Easter Saturday at Andrew's Park, Vacaville, to enjoy egg hunts and carnival rides.  The Easter Bunny was a no-go for Adisson.  She absolutely refused to even look at the bunny and later explained, "Mommy, I only like little bunnies."  To ensure every child got an egg, children were limited to three eggs each.  As most parents know, three eggs is simply not enough for young treasure hunters.  So we conducted another egg hunt just for Adisson when we got home.  Adisson turned the tables on us as she later hid the eggs and made the adults find them.  And 4-year-old's can come up with the oddest hiding places for tiny items.

Those eggs can be tricky to open.


Ready for church.
My first Easter.
In the evening we attended Easter service at the Father's House, Vacaville.  During worship, we got to watch performance painter, David Garibaldi, paint a 6 foot portrait of... well, you can see for yourself.  It was an inspiring art show and I was both bewildered and stunned by what Garibaldi created within minutes.

Can you see Him?
