Father's Day Weekend

Giants County Fair
With Savita, Dale, Lucci and Gia we went to the Giants County Fair Saturday Night. The boys had a great time with Lucci on all of the rides. Miguel, you loved the cars and the dragon rollercoaster. On the cars, you chose to ride a dune buggy. Lucci was driving, you were in the passenger seat and Tonio was in the back with arms spread out over the seat. We, the parents, all saw in the future at that moment. Instead of ride, the three of you driving around San Francisco causing mayhem. I was surprised to see you, Tonio, go on the rollercoaster. You like the idea of them but not quite sure of the reality. You went on with Lucci, peer pressure your dad said. One ride around was enough. You were petrified. You did not cry but I could tell it was not for you. Three weeks later and that is all you talk about. Both of you. You woke up today, Tonio, talking about dragon roller coasters.

Double Decker Bus Ride
For actual Father's Day we took the tourist double decker. It was a beautiful day and we sat up top on the bus with all of the tourists. You both loved it. We stopped at the Golden Gate Bridge. It was your first time on it. The only dream I have ever had with you in danger has been Miguel falling off the bridge. I didnt let you go very far. Our second stop was North Beach. The North Beach Festival was in full swing and Italy was playing that day in the World Cup so it was packed. We ate focacia and cookies at my favorite little bakery and then headed for Washington Square to listen to some cheesy festival music. There were some old hippie hold-outs passing out bubbles and blowing bubbles. You both had fun chasing them around. It was a great afternoon.
