We've extended bike rides purposely to reach out to more friends, and think we now have a following for our night time bike rides that light up the neighborhood using our led jackets. More to come for sure. We made up a driving game, just to get out of the house where we had random left and rights, starting from our house and we happened to end up at our local grocery store only 1 mile from our house.
The girls are really doing fantastic with school and getting the understanding that it is not just assignment to complete, but actual knowledge to be learned. It's a different way of learning, but it's not a bad way!
There has been just a little trampoline time with kids flying high way beyond acceptable limits, but it at least they have self awareness. Still more tramp/soccer ball catch, newly learned gymnastics skills, and as much time getting mommy and daddy on it as they can possibly beg for.
They are still really committed to workouts every night, they actually really look forward to it no matter how hard it is, because they are tired of sitting in front of the computer doing school work each day. They can't wait to get back to gymnastics and all their friends and as of now are hopeful that this at least starts to happen in a couple of weeks no matter how different it may be to start out. Mommy has had many coaches meetings and the gymnastics center has done some amazing things to reach out to all the gymnasts for online training, fun, and just socializing with their teammates. Mommy has continued to do a tough workout every Friday! It'll be interesting for sure how this goes in the next few weeks.
We've certainly added some extra science experiments into the mix and baking has been a fun pass time from Pizzookies, to Strawberry shortcake, chocolate parfaits and beyond. New strategies have been discovered for board and card games, I think we all know how many cards there are in a deck and which ones have been played : )
We've enjoyed being part of some birthday celebrations however different they may be. Lily had a virtual Tea- Party, we had fun thinking of Charley and Kari as we made some videos for them to see. And as we've made progress on the Bronco we have had a good time doing drive be parades for Hailey's 12th, Adison's 10th, and Alyssa's 16th birthday. We completely fixed the speedometer and the fuel gauge, yeah us! Next... all the rest : )
Speaking of birthday's, Daddy really appreciated the video of his friends and family wishing him a happy birthday in so many creative ways. Mommy had fun putting it together! The girls made him some special gifts and we made him Lemon Meringue Pie for desert and Jambalaya for dinner!
We continued our Mother's Day tradition eating bagels in the back of the pickup. This time in the driveway and not at Lowes :). She was spoiled with creative gifts from the kids, including a slideshow, and a wonderful day with the family.
It's been fun, most of the time, watching the girls relationship grow. They have learned new two man stunts, and have built some super imaginative Lego places including a social distancing restaurant, a replica of our main grocery store, and a hotel for all people and pets!
We can't get enough of this time that we have together!
We do however look forward to being closer to friends and family soon as well! We're going to be sure and think about everyone around us as this school year ends and summer begins.
