Mother’s Day
Fun day. Breakfast at Thais and Lenin’s. Carson holding Tetsuko. All the chickens have “old lady names”. Tetsuko is an old-lady name in Japan.
After breakfast, we went to Ciavarella Park. All the moms were honored before the game began.
Carson hit an inside-the-park home run.
Safe!
With a 6-4 lead in the 6th inning, the Closer came in to finish it off.
This was a win in the championship playoffs. All Stars comes next.
Prom
Christian Brothers prom was Saturday evening at the Sheraton downtown. Apparently going to the State Capitol and the surrounding gardens is the thing to do these days to take before-prom pictures. With at least three other high schools having their proms tonight, there were hundreds of well-dressed teens along with family members taking LOTS of pictures.

Franklinland
Terri and I went to The Fort Sutter Hotel for drinks and shared a delicious roasted pear and prosciutto pizza before going to B St Theatre to see Franklinland. We weren’t in our regular seats .. we were in the center, row 2. What a great up-close perspective.
Loopalooza
About 8 cyclists from N Natomas drove to Davis and parked at the train station. A group from SABA arrived by train.
After this picture was taken, all the SABA riders took off in various directions and groups. Our NN group rode together, Galib led, we stopped at every activity station.
Great welcoming arch made from shovels.
California Golden Poppy.
There is a great 12-mile loop connecting all the schools and many parks in Davis. For Loopalooza, there are activity stations along the way. Lennore and Galib:
