friday of freedom

i finally managed a friday off of work, and evie and i took full advantage. after one pesky conference call in the morning, we headed out to golden gate park to play with our friends. sadly, i never pulled the camera out of my purse, so you will just have to imagine the joy of kids playing half naked at what evie calls the "muddy playground". water and sand, and endlessly fun combination.

after a few hours of play, we headed out for lunch. four wild girls, one sleeping girl, and four mommies - the other patrons loved us. i have become a very generous tipper when evie is in tow.

then the others headed home for naps, but evie said she wanted to go to the "music festival", so we made it three years in a row at the hardly, strictly bluegrass festival. evie fell asleep on the walk over, but woke up towards the end of tom morello's set. she was none too happy about the crowd and noise, so she wanted to go home.

ok, if that what she wants, we can go. then we passed a hot dog stand. turns out a hot dog and dad showing up, were just the combination she needed to keep her going. we managed to see john prine and lyle lovett to end an absolutely wonderful day.

i need to get me some more of those fridays with my girl.
