Saturday morning was the opening day of little league. There was a parade…with the UC Davis marching band…and all the older teams… He was in awe.  And after some speeches and the opening pitch it was bounce house time!

Breakfast Lunch I tried to eat fewer macadamia nuts by putting fewer on my salad (knowing I’d go back for more after finishing the salad like I always do), but in the end I think I just ate the same because I then felt license to eat double the amount afterwards since I had “less” on my salad initially.  My mind tricks are clearly not working.   Anyway I don’t care because macadamias are delicious.
