Although Oliver has long been in love with Davis, after spending a whole day, alone, with Davis, Oliver is even more in love. These pictures are from after I got back from meetings - Oliver had no interest in me, he just wanted to spend more time, alone, with Davis. I tried to hold his hand, he pulled it away. I tried holding him, he just wanted to go back to Davis.
Now, sticks -We spent the majority of the day on Friday at Muir Woods outside of San Francisco. It was beautiful. I had never seen redwoods before and was quite impressed with the size.
Oliver, however, was much more impressed with a stick he found.
A couple people from the area suggested we check out the Tourist Club - a beer garden in the middle of the woods. Drawn to the idea of picnic tables, games, a grassy field where Oliver could run about, and some good German beer and food, we decided to make the trek. Luckily we chose the shorter, albeit steeper, trail because when we got there it was closed. Wishing it was a Mexican beer garden (it surely would have been open) we climbed out of the woods and went off to find a sandwich. It did look as though it had the potential to be fun - so, if anyone is headed out there, check it out for us - and let us know the hours.
We were given tickets to the baseball game Friday night - the San Francisco Giants vs. the Oakland A's. After a day of hiking in the woods and an afternoon excursion through San Francisco's Chinatown we were a bit worried we were pushing our luck with Oliver. As we got closer and closer to the stadium and the fans got rowdier and more animated we were increasingly worried that maybe we had made a bad decision. However, as soon as we got to our seats Oliver started to clap and laugh. He clapped, laughed and flirted his way through four innings. Just before the fifth inning he made it clear that he was done with the game. We think it is because he knows that five innings make a game, and he wanted his first full game to be a Red Sox game.
The boys, tired after a long and exciting day.
This is the sweetest post. The picture of Davis and Oliver walking on the beach, and this last one of them snuggling, are framers (maybe a good present for Davis' first Fathers Day?).
