Go Giants!!

We took Emily to her first Giants game a few weeks ago, and to say she loved it would be an understatement. She LOVED it. She was excited from the moment we parked the car. We all got Giants t-shirts for the occasion, and she tirelessly cheered on our "orange guys" until the game ended around 11pm. Sadly, we lost our 2 run lead (and the game) in the 9th inning. But it didn't dampen Em's spirits. Because next came fireworks!!

These proved to be equal parts thrilling and scary for her. She didn't trust that the little explosions of fire weren't going to reach us, so for the first half of the show, after each one she'd ask, "Is it going to get us?"

She was finally starting to trust that we wouldn't get hit, when Matt and I began talking about the finale and Matt said to Em, "I'll tell you when it's getting close." Can you guess what she thought that meant??! From then on no matter what we claimed, she was pretty much convinced it was only a matter of time before we got hit by a firework. But once the show ended she was all smiles.

When we got home Charlotte was fast asleep with the sitter, so despite the Giants' loss the night was a HUGE win for us!
