Orange October

Our family has been decked out in Orange and Black for the entire month of October, it seems.  

There's a new team in town and we were there at the first game of the inaugural season for the SF Bulls hockey team.  With the NHL locked out, we had to go somewhere for hockey and that place was the Cow Palace.

Chuck a Puck was the best part of the game and one of the funniest things I've ever seen.  $1 for an orange foam puck you chuck onto the ice during the 2nd intermission.  Closest to the center of the target wins $50.  There were hundreds of pucks on the ice.

Obviously, our real attention was on the World Champion SF Giants.  This photo is from the Old Gym at SI during the day game against the Reds.  There was a big screen and a live feed that kids came in and out of the gym all day to watch.  This was the 9th inning, my dance class is in the crowd since I told them to report there!

Here's some more of our loyal Giants support

We even watched Game 1 of the World Series via Face Time while I was at a conference in LA.

During Game 4, #RallyCecchinArms spread across the bay via text message.  From Oakland to Moraga to Daly City to San Francisco, Rally Arms eased the tension as we went into the 10th inning.

 (it's hard to take a one-armed self-portrait, we discovered)

We all saw the cute picture of little Brandon Crawford at Candlestick park.  Here's another lifelong Giants fan at Candlestick park in 1989.

Our kids have seen 2 Giants World Series Championships in their lifetime.  The same amount we've seen in our lifetime.  We really enjoyed watching this team this year.  We're not sure what Tommy is going to do now that baseball is over.  He keeps replaying it in his mind...
