Anyway, last weekend we went to the first Farmers Market on Saturday morning, wearing our masks and keeping our distance as much as we could. It felt good to have that one thing brought back. We bought some huge carrots, muffins for the boys to eat, and some flowers.
The boys got to see their cousins for the first time throughout this whole quarantine. We rode our bikes over to their house to deliver some cookies we had decorated and they played together in the creek behind their house. Sean said it was the highlight of the stay home order by far! I know he's missed Adelaide a lot.
We planted some flowers and then had a bonfire with two of our neighbors. Again, it felt so nice to socialize with people and to let the kids play in the backyard!
Sunday the rain moved in for the next few days and so we took it as an opportunity to watch Pirates of the Caribbean and lay low! Evan lost his tooth that evening and the tooth fairy visited our house, keeping herself 6 feet from a sleeping Evan!
Another school week started and there were several days of rain. The boys completed their assignments by Wednesday so that we could focus on Cub Scout activities on Thursday. My parents brought Sean his new bike over one day that they had found him at Meijer. I also did a whole bunch of baking with my sourdough starter.
On Wednesday, when the rain was gone, we had a Jimmy Johns picnic lunch in downtown Plymouth to get out of the house for a bit.
The kids came home and did a sidewalk chalk city in the street with Jameson and insisted on having a picnic dinner with him too. I started a new workout routine in the garage with some Coronaditioning videos that Sean's soccer coach has been posting. It was a good day!
Thursday we took a trip to the Botanical Gardens in Ann Arbor again, this time bringing Scott. Evan had to complete a Scout activity about hiking so it was a great place to do it. We saw so much wildlife! We saw 3 deer run right in front of us in addition to a snake, some chipmunks, minnows, and wild turkeys. The kids had a blast!
Sean's friend, Asher, from school came and dropped off a little goody bag with bubbles, candy, and a few other trinkets. It was a fun surprise!
It was a decent week! We were ready for our long holiday weekend, but we were definitely bummed that we wouldn't be going up north this year for it.
