today we slathered on the sunscreen, packed up the cooler and crossed the bridge to frolic at joaquin miller park for jessi's birthday. i had never been there before, and had no idea that there was such an amazing huge park in oakland. there were so many picnic tables and bbq pits, we had a huge clearing all to ourselves. it was the perfect party setting (complete with balloons and streamers) and it was also the perfect day for such an event (although i honestly could have used a little less sun).
everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, including all the kids and dogs. however it's events like these that make me feel older. when did i know more people with babies (or baby fever, there are a lot of baby fever folks) than without? although the guy at safeway did say i looked like a teenager and needed to card me when i was buying beer, so that should cancel the baby party feelings out, right?
ps. this lil' cutie is desmond, proud baby (that's what his sweet leather bracelet says) of jessi and chris. i think he looks like a tough guy, but is a big ol' sweetie, not to mention a drool beast.
pps. once we got home, i passed out and napped for over 2 hours. kele would've been proud.
