I’ve been walking or bike riding every day that it’s not raining or cold and windy. It’s about 5 miles to Thais and Lenin’s house. Thais was inside working, Lenin was outside with the kids:
Skinny enough to go THROUGH the fence:

Riding back along Fisherman’s Lake Parkway:

Sophia and Avery did some homework. Carson and I played Dog Bingo. This is a picture of Carson cheating. He compares the dogs on my card to the dogs on his card, then he looks at the tiles inside the bag and chooses the one that lets him always be ahead in the count. I don’t say a word, I’m laughing hysterically on the inside.

Carson helped me get a small box of Easter decorations out of a cabinet over the washing machine (and I didn’t have to climb a ladder). Then he helped me decorate. He was very proud of the “set up” he created.

A break in the monotony: Sophia, Avery, and Carson came over for a couple of hours. We played Ravine. Carson was in charge of passing out (or sending them flying across the table) the correct number of forage cards.

The madness card demanded a staring contest. The first person to laugh or talk lost one heart.

Rather than eating out in a restaurant to celebrate Justin’s new job, Supervising Construction Inspector 4 for the City of Sacramento, everyone came to my house for dinner.

After dinner, we played Ravine.

As Uncle Justin prepared for a thumb-wrestling contest with the player on his right, he had to sing everything he wanted to say to Sophia. It’s a terrible thing when you draw a Madness card.

A game on Monday.

On Wednesday, Sophia went to her first AAU basketball practice at St Francis.

Avery’s baseball practice started at the same time and, thankfully, was only 2 miles away.

In the game Ravine, if it’s time for a health check and you only have one heart, you must draw a Madness card. You might have to hug and not let go of the person on your right until someone else (me) helps you out (right after I take a picture).

Or have a thumb wrestling contest. The loser loses one heart.

The season is coming to an end. Sophia’s last practice:

Last game:

Avery’s last game:

Pretty much the first thing Avery and Carson ask for when they see Uncle Justin is to be lifted up to touch the ceiling.

Carson did the “hot dog roll” with a friend:

Avery made the shot:

Sophia:
