49ers, Hope, and Happiness

GO NINERS! That was my motto this past week and it totally worked. We went to the 49er vs Redskins  game on Sunday and my Niners came out victorious! This was my second NFL game - last year I got to see the Dolphins play Baltimore (not as good of an outcome in that game) - and I can now comfortably say I'd like to own an NFL team when I grow up; football is fun.

My dad even got in to it and wore 49er gear (rather than his usual Dolphins attire). And while I was one of the smallest fans at the game, I showed my big spirit by running through the crowds in the parking lot and the stadium yelling "Go Niners!" Even the Redskins fans were nice to me - probably because I'm short (and I winked at them as I passed).

Then my buddy Hope came to town with her mom Amy. Amy and my mom have been friends since they had a food fight at sleep-away camp when they were 12 years old - pretty cool. Anyway, we had a blast and spent the day at the zoo. I showed Hope all of my favorite spots - Amazonia, the O line, and the pandas. And this is how she showed me her appreciation... Yes, I'd be happy to take her to the zoo again - shazam!

Then last night two of my favorite people, Christine and Uncle M.O. came to visit me. Christine gave me a cool  bowling set (but my parents have already commandeered it for themselves and are competing to see who can knock down the most pins - good grief!). This is why I love Christine and M.O. - they love to play. They let me wear their shoes, they put on goofy hats, and they're just plain fun. Thanks for a great evening.
