There are so many things growing in Ta’s “jungle”. It’s hard to see but this tree has lots of tiny green mangoes growing!
Here are some ripe ones that were picked.
On this tree, there are bananas growing. Almost ready for picking!
First Flight
Today, the kids and Dada took their first flight since February. It’s a different experience now with having to wear masks and and empty plane.
With middle seats blocked, Peanut has plenty of room to spread out for a quick nap.
Our family of 4 had a row all to ourselves.
We made it to Long Beach and we are ready to celebrate Dada’s birthday this weekend!
Participation
It’s good to see Peanut participating in his Zoom classes. Today, he was showing off his decorated letter for his classroom wall.
Buddies Reunited
Five months ago, these two boys were the last ones left in their preschool before it finally had to close because of shelter-in-place ordinances. Today, they got to see each other again and it was so fun! Turns out they both learned how to ride two-wheeled bikes during their time in isolation and were so excited to ride together.
They are climbed the tree by the playground together and played like they had just seen each other yesterday at school.
Take-out
It’s fun to see how the kids adapt their play based on real-life experiences. No more sit-down dining at their restaurant. It’s only for take out at this time.
Backyard S’mores
This is one of the kids’ favorite things to do this year. Making s’mores in the backyard is so fun and convenient!! We can’t wait to go camping again one day but until then, this will do.
Outdoor Dining
Restrictions were lifted recently that now allows for outdoor dining. We were so happy to be able to eat at a restaurant again after so many months. We went to Trabocco to have one of our favorite meals.
Schedule
The kids came up with a schedule for today complete with illustrations.
Laundry Crew
It’s like the family leveled up once the kids were able to fold their own clothes. They even kept track of the orphan socks and reunited 2 out of 3 by the end.
Gup Garage
The kids built a garage for all the Gups and put them in alphabetical order starting from the bottom left for the Gup A.
