William was picked to play on his division's all-star team, so we will be headed to California the weekend of April 11th for him to play in the all-star games. League play is over for the year and William had a lot of fun. He loves playing basketball and this year he was finally in a league that allowed them to steal the ball and play a bit more defensively than he has in the past. The team he was on ended up with only six players, so he had a lot of time on the court each week, he loved it, even if it was a little tiring. It was a fun season and we are all excited and proud that he made the All-Star team.
On Friday Margaret had tickets to the Sox game, Mike and I were not able to go but the rest of the gang headed out for a day at the ballpark. They had a great time enjoying the game, the weather and just relaxing at the ballfield. I think the Sox lost, and I think they were playing the As, but I could be wrong there. Before we knew it, it was Saturday and time to go. William had a basketball game in the morning and then it was off to the airport. I believe Margaret had a relaxing week, she spent a lot of time sitting outside reading with Max at her feet. He for sure was thrilled with all the attention given to him and will miss his afternoons laying in the sun.
We were not about to be shortchanged on our wildflower search, since I had Wednesday off work, Margaret and I decided we would go to the Arboretum to walk around and enjoy the day. It was a gorgeous day, the sun was shining, it probably got into the 70s and there was a little breeze to keep us cool. We enjoyed walking around and seeing all the native plants in various stages of blooming. And yes we did spot the occasional wildflower, apparently it was just a week or so too early for the wildflowers. We ended our day with lunch at the Wildflower Bread Co., seemed appropriate, even though it was not intentional we can pretend it was.
