Happy Father's Day

Another weekend...more running around. Summer in SF is all about 2 things: 1) cool, foggy weather and 2) festivals. This weekend was North Beach Festival. Jessie made us wake up early to go get breakfast and then beat the crowds. So much for mine and Zack's plan to go back to sleep after the 7am feeding...and so much for Meghan's normal routine of sleeping in until noon.

After breakfast at Stacks (so good!) and a present from the a-hole meeter maids, we headed to North Beach. We were close to the 1st people there. We hung out for a little bit and grabbed a beer. Zack also got denied admission to the beer garden, because he's underage. Watch out for those 6 week olds, trying to sneak beers.

North Beach festival was lame and had about nothing going on, so we headed to 'Philipious' and Malee's for a little house party (we were early...everyone else was casually late). Unlike Union Street, this was actually a "little" house party and it was nice to know most everyone there. Of course, Zack stole the show (what's new), followed (not so closely) by Rock Band on the PS3. Philipious and Malee definitely had skillz, while I battled Grant for the worst drummer ever. We also saw Austin, the Forbush girls' cousin, who was up from LA with his girlfriend, Katie. Austin was petrified to hold Zack and won the award for holding him the farthest from his body (took that from Nate).


This morning the Drill Sargent was all over us to do stuff around the house. So much for a relaxing Father's Day. We had some laughs too about last night's middle of the night feeding, where I had a bit of a problem waking up and then tuning into reality. I must have been having a nightmare about work (no seriously I was).

Late in the afternoon we headed out to Tiburon for a BBQ at Katie's folks' place. We took the whole family out there...Jeff, Jess, Zack, Megs, Sierra, and Foster. They had the whole set of labs (black, chocolate, and yellow) so our pups fit in fine. Eventually there were 7 dogs there and ours were relatively well behaved. Relatively...Foster immediately ran onto the pool tarp. Sierra chased a ball over the hedges, which was a 4 foot drop into more bushes, then another 4 feet. Maybe that will teach her not to be obsessed with balls, but I doubt it since she immediately found another ball.

Of course Zack was the main attraction. Katie's Mom ate him up. I think Austin and Katie will be getting pressure for a grandbaby immediately...even if they aren't married yet. Her grandfather asked if he could take him home. Luckily we escaped with Zack and got him home just in time to put him down for the night. The dogs are beat too! Anyways, here are some pics (yeah, the views were amazing).
