i had the privelege of attending the bay to breakers race this last sunday with rach, brian, dylan oh and rach's fan club. too much fun! dylan has spent the past two days telling everyone that she went to a parade in the city and she saw a crazy monkey, mingos (flamingos) and naked guys! the crazy monkey was a guy dressed in a gorilla suit that ran right up to dylan's face to say hello and scared the hell out of her. the mingos were girls dressed in pink tutu's and flamingo hats and the naked guys were well, naked guys. oops! my crazy girl and her honesty... she's going to get me into trouble.
for example.... on the way to the city we stopped to get a coffee at starbucks. when brian asked dylan if she would like anything she said, "yes daddy. i would like a scone and chocolate milk from starbucks." guess she blew my cover for our special mom/dylan dates! could she have been more specific?
when we were trying to find parking before the race we found a spot and the car behind us pulled into it! without hesitating rach jumped out of the car and told the driver that it was our spot and they needed to move... and you know what!? they did!!! dylan yelled out from the backseat - "go rachel!" she was right - go rachel! so awesome!!!
on the way back to the car we walked through a field that was covered with little flowers. dylan told us that she was going to pick the whole field for us! she is definately my girl.... she gave it a good effort but had to settle for me clipping a few of the flowers in her hair.
after the race we had a delicious lunch and even got to steal a hug from john. what a beautiful day!
the city makes my heart happy! i'm so glad to know that it is where 3 pieces of my heart call home. what a perfect fit.
one last dylan story... on mother's day we were walking up my parents driveway to the car and she reached out and gently touched a rosemary plant on the edge of the driveway. the whole drive home she kept smelling her hand and grinning at me like it was the most wonderful smell in the world! she amazes me everyday by sharing her simple pleasures that i thought were only my own. so today take time to stop and smell the rosemary!
