Picnic Day!

Every spring, UC Davis hosts a huge festival called Picnic Day. Yesterday was this year's Picnic Day. The campus sets up booths with all kinds of activities and crafts, there are bands playing, a parade goes through campus and downtown, and there are exhibits of all kinds. Thousands of people attend. We wanted to take Ben after his nap yesterday but, of course, he didn't nap in the morning. So we just put him in the bike trailer and headed downtown. He fell asleep on the way and then slept for about an hour in the backpack (he missed the parade!). But once he woke up, he had a GREAT time! We watched some music, ate, and visited the petting zoo... Mommy and Daddy also had fun, and walked a lot, which was good too. Here are some of the highlights:

Arriving downtown with a sleeping baby (he did have a helmet on during the ride):

Snoozing while we walked to campus:


Awake and ready for some music!

As usual, Ben seeks and finds a new doggie friend!

Lunch break for Daddy and Ben.
