Family Staycation In Quarantine!

We will be here for a while...

Community pools and recreation centers are closed this summer and summer camp will only meet virtually. Summer school is also virtual for students who have to attend. This summer will be very different and interesting to say the least. The up side is that the city will have a few sponsored events for families that are looking for safe activities to do.

While the state and my city is slowly opening, it is clear that we will not be going away on vacation. I had plans with one of my teens to volunteer in our community this summer. It is not safe to do any of the above, because nationally and globally we are still recovering from the Corona Virus. We are living in a new normal and we are trying to adapt to our new way of life. This spring and going into summer we have been making improvements to our yard. Our mission is to create a relaxing outdoor space for our family. We added flowers and landscaping to create a beautiful atmosphere. A fire pit and a pool, are  a few toys for entertainment that we brought in for the summer activities. We are bringing the vacation to us, in this case our "staycation".

We will also visit the parks and have takeout by curbside pick up. This weekend we did a test run to the get ice cream and that seem to go well. All the customers were wearing masks and practicing social distancing. Maybe that is something we can do again during the summer. I am doing the best for my family and I know that you are too.
