Distant Memorial Day Weekend

While we are still taking Covid-19 seriously, we did finally step away from our home and into some backyards this Memorial Day weekend. It felt nice and “normal” while still keeping our distance and outdoors where the risk is lower.

Saturday afternoon we spent a little time in my in-law’s back yard. The girls played and swung while we all sat/stood around for about an hour or so. It was the first place our girls have been since school closed on March 16th. 

On Sunday we made a reservation at the Cincinnati Nature Center - it’s open to members only at this time and it was really great - very few people and since the Playscape and center are closed, we finally walked on a trail 😆




We had a little kiddie pool time in the yard, then cleaned up for Tim’s nephew’s graduation “party.” My SIL was very creative and among the few people invited, we signed up for time slots to avoid a crowd - which I know I appreciated. The gathering stayed outdoors. Nora probably talked nonstop since, again, she’s seen no one for so long, she was so excited. 

Afterwards, we picked up some Dewey’s curbside carryout, then had a group friend Zoom chat that evening. 

Monday we had more kiddie pool time and took it easy. 



It was a good weekend that felt partially social but in a safe manner.
