At Morse Park in Elk Grove. Avery had games on Sunday and Monday.

Sunday. Avery’s River Park team beat the team from Galt. Avery bunted a fair ball just inside the line and made it to first:

Monday. River Park v Laguna. A hit to the outfield:

Avery scored the only run River Park got.

Sadly River Park lost.

All the usual rodeo events including barrel racing:

Carson always chooses a couple of memory games – he knows he can win those.

Sophia and Lily played as a team this morning in a tournament.

They came in second.

I love helping Thais and Lenin when work (or golf) conflicts with the kids’ activities. On Tuesday and Thursday, I picked up Carson at basketball, then picked up Sophia from volleyball at St Ignatius, a quick lunch and 30 minutes later I dropped off Carson at St Ignatius, and drove Avery and Carson back home. Entertainment provided by:

Time with Sophia Avery Carson and Charlie while Lenin played a round of golf. Carson loves to play games. This was our finished stack for the day.

Charlie found a great resting place with a chin rest:

Avery got a hit:

His team won!

The end of the season is near. Skills have really improved.

Time for Phyl to travel south to visit her sister in Bakersfield – by train.

This was the pre-dawn start to my busiest day of May-is-Bike-Month. Ahead: Project Ride Smart at H Allen Hight all morning, Westlake Bike Club in hottest part of the afternoon, and Zoom meeting #5 for Better on Bikes in the evening. Friday will be a complete day off – hurray!

Sophia, Carson, and Brook Lyn:

Avery and Leo played a bit more actively in the deep end:
