This unique time has given us so many adventures already even though we can't venture too far from home. We have been working hard on learning new skills and getting better at other things.
After giving Papa and Grammy's boat a good cleaning, it was time to give it a spin on the open water!
Everyone got a turn driving the boat and of course honking the horn.
During our online learning we spent some time doing experiments together...the messier the better.
Marie is getting so confident in her baking even making cake pops for the first time. It took a lot of steps to get them put together and we are thankful she did!
Marie has also been spending time working on her dances from her dance class. She is able to follow the routines online and gave us a show in her costume. Even dad learned a few steps of one of the songs.
Wood working is another area the kids have developed. They came up with the idea to make a carpet ball table and then helped dad build it while mom helped them paint it.
It's been a really fun addition to our house and yard!
Brooks has been doing a lot of artwork with his school time...for earth day he got to make his favorite ocean animal and a picture of the earth.
We have to have fun too...so one night during dinner we watched the Walt Disney World fireworks show on their blog. It took us right back to being at that magical place!
We learned how hard it is to NOT hug our grandparents...we paid a visit to Grandma Nel and Grammy and Papa to say hi. We miss them and can't wait to spend more time with them.
We also spent some time learning how to skip the perfect rocks...sunshine and warm temps brought us to the water and it was so good to have fun at the shore.
Bennett has been doing some projects for school. He even drew this amazing picture of a howler monkey after he did a report.
And finally....we perfected roasting hot dogs and marshmallows. We have been able to spend so much more time together as a family around our fire pit in the evenings.
