We did some outdoor dining at one of our favorite restaurants. We learned it was their last day before they will have to close for the holidays because of the upcoming COVID-19 surge.
Packet Pick-up
We rode our bikes to school to pick up the next set of learning materials. Peanut loves his teacher, Ms. Wells, and was star struck when he saw her in person.
We also got a photo of them together like she was a celebrity. So cute!
Halloween Birthday Party
It’s Alice’s Birthday AND Halloween today. Uncle Johnny prepared some fun activities as part of the birthday celebration.
Take a look at these balloon animals!!
We all sang “Happy Birthday” to Alice and then headed out for some Socially Distant Trick-or-Treating.
The neighborhood moms planned a scavenger hunt and doors were decorated. Candy was left out in buckets at the door front too.
They all made out like bandits tonight!!
Mama’s Birthday
Today is Mama’s birthday and since she took the day off, we drove to San Francisco after Zoom classes were done. We went to the Ferry Plaza and found it deserted.
They had outdoor tables for us to sit and wait for our table at Hog Island Oyster Co.
Janie drew a cute picture while we waited.
It was fun eating at Hog Island again after so many months. They had tables spaced out nicely and the food was just as good as we remembered.
Peanut enjoyed eating his clams. He also managed to entertain himself with the empty shells too
No trip to the Ferry Plaza is complete without soft serve from Gott’s. It was nice to be back in our old hang out spot but we were sad to see how the pandemic has really turned off the hustle and bustle of the city.
Outdoor Dining
School at Home
The kids are in a groove now with their distance learning. Nice to see they are still learning and we are thankful the teachers are more organized and more demanding of them this yet.
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!
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.
