Playing outside, riding bikes, going on walks, and putting on plays (complete with face paint, of course.)
While I worked my 2 days, Zach and the kids built these elevated garden beds, filled them with dirt, and planted a garden.
We have still been reading lots of books together and playing lots of family games. We keep adding to our game repertoire. Skip-Bo became the new weekly favorite.
We got "egged" by some neighbor friends. The kids enjoyed hunting for the eggs and then paying it forward by egging another friend.
I don't know what the kids liked better...finding eggs hidden in our yard or sneaking into someone else's yard to hide eggs for them. Such a fun way to connect with others during this socially distant time.
We cleaned out the garage. There is nothing I find more attractive than a man with his cleaned out and organized garage shelves.
We attended a "drive-in" communion service at our church on Good Friday.
It wasn't how anyone a few months ago would have thought a Good Friday service would look, but it was nice to at least be with our church family, even if all we could do was wave at each other through our car windows.
The kids got a surprise visit from the Easter Bunny courtesy of NTA (their acting group). You know it's a theater arts Easter Bunny when they show up with a fully coordinated dance routine.
The kids and I made resurrection rolls while reading the story of Good Friday and Easter. They enjoyed discovering that their marshmallow Jesus was no longer in the tomb.
We ventured to Farmdale Reservoir to expand our hiking grounds.
The kids enjoyed the more rugged terrain, the teeter-totter bridges, the water crossings, and the new area to explore.
We hiked about 3 miles and all the kids did great!
It might not have been the spring break that we had planned, but it was still a good week. We were thankful for sunshine, some beautiful days, no school work, and some more fun time together as a family.
