One benefit of the kids choosing to participate in West Clermont Online Academy was the implementation of Fun Friday! Every Friday we finish our work and go do something fun! We have swam, hiked, fished, gone to the zoo, and this week we went to A & M Orchard to pick apples. We had the whole crew there and had a great time!
We spent the last couple of days social distancing away from the world at Norris Lake. We got to spend it with some of our favorites that we have seen during quarantine. Everyone had an amazing time and it was the kids first lake experience. The lake was beautiful and clear, the kids loved the pontoon that we rented while there, we tubed, paddle boarded, swam, flew through the air on rope swings, jumped off bridges, fished, Minecrafted our hearts out, and played with some of our favorite friends! Here are some of our favorite memories of our time at Lake Norris.
To end out the last half of June 2020 we got to celebrate two important parts of our family. First June turned one, and then we got to celebrate Father’s Day.
Let’s start with June’s Birthday. June celebrated her first birthday in style at the Log Cabin (one of her favorite places) with some of her favorite family members. We had a hotdog buffet, presents, a doggy piñata filled with tennis balls, and of course cake for the birthday girl. Check out one of June’s best nights of her life!
About a week later we got to celebrate Father’s Day. We got to stop by both grandpa’s houses to visit them and bring them a little surprise and then later eat dinner with our sweet neighbors, the Robinson’s.
We spent a super fun week with Jay’s parents and his sister’s family in North Carolina this past week. The 4 cousins are at such good ages and they played together wonderfully. June got to test out her sea legs and thoroughly enjoyed herself. We made memories and all really appreciated being together after a long quarantine. Looking forward to next summer already!!!
This Easter was a bit different for our family, as it was for the rest of the country. We made the decision four weeks ago that our neighbors, and close friends, the Robinsons would be in our quarantine family. All adults in each family are fortunate enough to work from home and besides one person in each family grocery shopping it is the only people we see on a weekly basis. This quarantine friendship has offered us plenty of memories, including celebrating easter together this past weekend.
For the first time in 10 years we have not been able to visit the Easter Bunny for pictures, but we were lucky enough for him to visit us and drop us some treats! We took some Easter pictures around our neighborhood and in our yard.
We decorated eggs as we always do and even made some salt dough Easter egg ornaments to decorate the house.
On Sunday we had Easter lunch with the Robinsons, had an Easter egg hunt, and played some games. It was a nice day and we are lucky to be quarantined with such good friends!
