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:

A fun brunch at Zocalo’s in Midtown Justin and Jennifer, Thais and Lenin, Sophia, Carson (Avery had a baseball game), and Lenin’s family, Jeff and Leah, Rita and Lino, and Lauren.

Saturday afternoon. Carson hit a pitched ball into the outfield:

Saturday morning. Carson tried to teach his friend how to climb this tree:

Avery hit a perfect bunt, everyone was safe and one run scored. Then he stole every base and also scored. His team won 13-3.

Zane’s dad explained to Carson how to run a route to catch a pass:

Meanwhile, Avery …

Ouch! The moment the baseball landed.

On Friday, we went to Sophia’s flag football game at St Patrick’s. Running back looking for the ball:

After the game, we all went to El Novillero. Lenin, Leah and Sophia playing Wordle, Jeff, Thais, Justin, and Carson. To the right, Lauren and Antonio.

Our big group needed two booths.

Saturday morning. Carson hit a pitched ball!

The catcher just got the ball in his mitt but Avery beat him to the plate and scored.

Carson borrowed his mom’s phone and climbed on top of the park sign. He didn’t stay there long. Looks pretty uncomfortable.

Avery at bat:

Go Avery!

Lenin coaches the team:

Carson knows how to hit off the tee. This one went into center field.
