happy father's day!

we had a wonderful first father's day! Emily surprised me by dressing up in her (and my) favorite onesie. Notice the red in her hair? I think Grandma Dickson would be proud! Depending on the light, Emily's hair looks red, blonde, or brown. Time will tell as to what it actually turns into.

Once we did get out of the house, we drove across the bay bridge to Oakland and walked around a favorite spot of ours - Lake Merritt. There's always a good amount of bird watching to be done and today didn't disappoint. Beside the endless throngs of canadian geese and pigeons, we saw a group of white pelicans land and hunt for fish. One did get tricked by a goose feather. Apparently they aren't as smart as I thought they were.

Here's Emily enjoying the sun. The stroller did have to go off-roading quite a bit, but Emily hung in there like a little trooper. We may have to outfit that stroller with bigger wheels for future trips.

After our stroll around the lake, we went to Fenton's for lunch and ice cream. Emily was on very good behavior so we treated her to a milkshake.
