Social Distancing, Week 3

This past week a state-wide "shelter-in-place" order was enacted and school was canceled for the rest of the school year (though we are still doing digital learning), and we're just assuming that baseball will be canceled as well, though it has not been officially announced.  Nevertheless, we're continuing on in our quest to learn, be active, and have fun, despite our circumstances.

It was quite a week for Caleb.  All in one week, he has learned to tie his shoes, skip rocks, hit home runs over the fence and read his 100 sight words in less than a minute.  Next week:  riding a bike without training wheels.  We also continue to be amazed at what a kind-hearted and helpful boy he is turning into.


His wish was that he would get baseball stuff for Christmas.
We've cooked some yummy food, including French toast, white chocolate bread (recipe from Club Med) and homemade ice cream.


Yesterday, we had a backyard obstacle course, including carrying a golf ball on a spoon



throwing a basketball into the baby pool

climbing up the ladder to the slide and down the slide


climbing up the side of the playground to knock off a pinecone



jumping to hula-hoops




throwing a frisbee into the soccer goal

jumping side to side over the jump rope

wheel barrow walk
and close yourself in the baseball net.  They seemed to enjoy it.
And, of course, we continue to have other fun adventures outside in the beautiful weather, for which we are so grateful.



And nothing beats ice cream in the van:
