Beautiful Day for a Hike

 Tree faces--Michael thinks this one looks like a cyclops.

Last Day of School and Celebration

All dressed up to go apply for a couple of jobs.

Reading in the hammock

First in-person karate class since the middle of March to round out our last day of school.

The virus has thrown us a curveball this school year.  So, we celebrated the last day of school more than normal this year with take-out dinner from Daniel's favorite, Aroma Café--a Cuban restaurant and Tera's choice of dessert!  

Our newest graduate!

What an awesome way to end this weird, crazy, stressful, insanely different school year!   Two graduates down, one to go!

Fieldtrip: Cemetery

When the whole world is just starting to reopen, you have to be a little creative with fieldtrips, especially the last couple of days of school when you really just want to be done already.   Michael and I went on a fieldtrip to a local cemetery.  I did this with the older kids and their friends a few years ago--Bizarre and Unique Fieldtrips--Cemetery. 

It would have been a lot more fun with more people, but it was still nice to get out.  We talked a lot about how sad the neglected graves were.  This really bothered Michael.  I found him weeding around one of the stones at one point.

DIY Chicken Coop

This man has wanted chickens for YEARS...being in isolation finally brought his dream to fruition.  With the extra time he's had off of work, he was able to build his own chicken coop with his apprentice, Michael.
