Mom, Music and Brunch
This week's kids planner takes mom into account, of course, because this Sunday is Mother's Day. A family brunch and a family concert are on our calendar as are a children's fantasy faire, a weekend festival and free safety inspection of car seats.

When/Where: 3 p.m., Sunday, Cavalry Church, 16330 Los Gatos Blvd.
Why Go: A musical treat for mothers and their families. Lots of terrific Pops music that mom will love and everyone who is with her. Listen to some Gershwin, Porter, Berlin and more! The entire 65-piece Pops will be on hand, as will someone who made a claim to fame on America's Got Talent, virtuoso harmonicist Jia-Yi He, international virtuoso harmonicist. And something special for the kids, or at least the first 350 at the concert. They will get free harmonicas. A great way to spend Mother's Day with your family.

Why Go: This is a mixed bag of events for alumni of all ages. It kicks off with a reunion mixer for last year's graduating class, which are this year's high school freshmen and to meet with current seventh- and eighth-grade students. Another highlight for the younger alum (current high school or college students) is the faculty basketball game and barbecue game Saturday afternoon. And everyone should enjoy the alumni film. So yes, as a 75th anniversary party, there's something here for older alum and parents of current students and younger alum as well. It will be a terrific celebration of Hillbrook's 75 years.
Pricing: Free
When/Where: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, Los Gatos Civic Center Lawn, 110 E. Main St.
Why Go: It really is a kid's fantasy. Think about it—pony rides, a petting zoo, games, jump houses, everything a kid could want. Plus live entertainment, food and drink. And it's parent's fantasy, too. Why, because the kids can have a great time and it's free for you. But do spend some money. The event supports Los Gatos Parent Nursery School and the Los Gatos Library.
Pricing: Free admission.
When/Where: 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., Saturday, , 138 Railway Ave, Campbell
Why Go: Want to be sure your child is safe when you strap him or her into your family car seat. This is the event that will help you be certain you are doing everything right. Tiny Tots Baby Boutique and Safe Kids (of Santa Clara/San Mateo) will have certified technicians on hand to give you personal instruction on the proper use and installation of child safety seats.
Pricing: Free, but reservations and a refundable deposit of $25 are required.
