A week and a half of happenings...

Lots of happenings since our last post...

Last Saturday the 12th, we had family day for Jo's birthday.
Happy Birthday Jo !!!

We started off watching our niece Sydney's swim meet where she was first place in her heat for the 25-yard fly! Great job Sydney !!!


Next up, thanks to an awesome suggestion by Alex, we went bowling as a family with some friendly competition between all the guys and gals. We finished it off with some Mountain Mike's pizza and some great banter amongst each other. A great sign of a successful event is when Mom and Dad are raving so much about it that they want family bowling day to be a regularly scheduled event! Maybe it should be Jo's birthday every month! :-)






On the 14th(Jo's actual birthday), I took Jo out to an Italian restaurant that she wanted to try in Danville, called The Basil Leaf Cafe. Unfortunately, we didn't shoot any pics of the food. The fact that it disappeared faster than I could take a pic of it should tell you something about this place. :)









Saturday the 19th was a big day for our cousin Tom. He was participating in Eppie's Great Race in Sacramento that day. It's a 10K run, followed by a 12-mile bike ride, and ending with a 6-mile kayak ride! This race is touted as "the world's oldest triathlon", and it was a really fun race to watch!




Here's some more pictures from the event:

I feel so privileged that you have added me to your blog site. These are great photos. I’m able to see the race from a spectator’s perspective and could see how someone can enjoy watching the race.

P.S. Happy B-Day Jo. You don’t look a day over 18… :)

In case your wondering, “Guava” was my high school nickname.

Have a nice day!!

Tom
