Quarantine- May

May began with week number 7 (?) of Quarantine.  At this point, I think we were all a bit over it.  We still "social distanced" for the most part, but we began letting our kids play some with the neighbors and some close friends as the month went on.  Most of this playing took place outside, so I was glad there was at least fresh air all around.  School wrapped up in the first week of May, so summer officially began!

Here's a look at the rest of our May- a month that seemed to last forever!  It looked a lot different from our normal May, that's for sure.

Taylor- virtual field day:

 Surprise happy birthday parade for Taylor's teacher!

Surprise parade for Parker's teacher- just to say hi!

End of the year neighborhood play day:

Playing outside:

Sydney made a family obstacle course!

T & P pitched in to buy Sydney a skateboard- she'd been talking about wanting one for awhile!

Hanging out:

Willa and Whitley helped pitch in with their backyard fort work

Abi, Kinley and Zac came to play

Sydney and Bella have had several hangouts/sleepovers

Hanging with the Chase's!

Lunch with Zac and Rose

Swimming with Landon and Sutter (and baby Thea!)

Random:

Kool-aid hair dye!

The kids were at a friend's house and I got to go to a park and walk in complete silence!

Watching the Intl. Space Station fly over us

Money money money! (or not, in this case)

Parker kicked Taylor out of her own bed, apparently.

Parker walked with me one morning

Hitting up the grocery store

Hair envy

Uno Flip!

Coming back from the donut truck

Chayce's birthday parade:

Parker's teacher came to visit:

It started pouring!

Pool time:

Parker's new obsession: collecting basketball cards

He purchased all with his own money.  All 1100. 😳 Here he is meeting the Amazon guy!

His face when I told him I got him Michael Jordan and Kareem Abdul Jabbar cards.

Stephen loves to scare Parker and take video of it.  Poor baby!  But here's him organizing the cards into his binder.

Memorial Day Weekend

We ventured outside of the house!  Who are we? Ha!  Just kidding.  We haven't been "sheltering in place" that well in the last few weeks, but we haven't left town yet.  For Memorial Day weekend, the girls and I made our way up to the mountain house!

We left at probably the worst time ever... it started storming like crazy.  Check out a screenshot of the weather map:

Yeah... so our 2 hour, 45 minute drive ended up being almost 4 hours (with one stop included).  But, we made it safely, thank goodness!

We had some good hang-out time, card games, a golf cart parade and "social distancing" picnic (in lieu of the normal picnic and square-dance), hanging out with friends, and more.

Sunday AM walk:

We went to a friend's house who lives up a looooong driveway, but when you get to the top... holy cow! What a view!

6 feet apart...

...that didn't last long. ;)

Golf Cart parade/picnic:

Meanwhile, Stephen and Parker had a "boys' weekend", including ordering pizza, golf, movies, fro yo, and more!
