Day 30: At the Beach

What a hoot! Fina turned the family room into an ocean-side beach! Complete with sand and surf, umbrella and towels, coves, pirate ship, and mist from the surf. This is definitely my favorite Stay-at-Home display of creativity and fun (so far). All while Beach Boys music played! The rest of Day 30 is here,

The big reveal, just like Christmas morning.

The dogs loved the trip to the beach, too.

Day 30

I made a little video this morning using photos from 2018 and 2019 Air Force Thunderbird shows for the Air Force Academy's graduation. This year there will be no show, just a graduation flyover, on April 18th. Beautiful day today. Good thing, the next three days are cold and snowy. Fina got very creative today, found all kinds of ways to go swimming despite the pool being closed. The Colorado Springs Quilt Guild just passed 1,500 masks donated. Did you know Disney Parks released their churro recipe (at Disney Parks blog, or just the PDF)! Tonight's movies: What Women Want and What Men Want. Don't miss Fina's Day 30 at the Beach.

Our annual cigar on the new patio today. 60s today, cold and snowy tomorrow.

Gives the best knee massage.

The sprinkler was going full force.

She had quite an audience, too.

Three areas to Nala-proof.

Day 29

Good Friday. Checkout this video: Stations of the Cross (description/credits in the YouTube comments below the video). Ultimate school day for the week; I saw a number of quizzes, tests, and the like scheduled online with teachers. Some chess, some keeping in touch, some deliveries, some science. Smashburger for dinner. Movie with kids: Trolls World Tour. Movie without kids: Napoleon Dynamite.

Nana and Papa set out Easter Bunny.
Lexi added Easter Bunny's friends.

Revolutionary Chess

Matteo's friends are keeping in touch

The twins made various size balls and rolled them down inclined planes. Science!

Jamie and Lynn recorded a Happy Easter wish to the TimberCreek folks.

Fina made Lynn a green latte.

Day 28

Today was the penultimate school day of the week. Tonight we had a Zoom gathering of the church Safety and Security Team; checking in with each other. Jamie got to try out his new Blue "Snowball" microphone in a telecon setting. He used it earlier today to record an audio audition for a part in an audio production of Agamemnon at Counterweight. Tracy found this gem: go to the O'Reilly Auto Parts website and search for "121G". Hey, I think we skipped dinner. And where are the kids? And did you say Matt put a banana in his thingy? Tonight's movie: When Do We Eat, a rather irreverent look at a family's Passover Seder. It's Maundy Thursday; check out Stations of the Cross (video), credits in the description.

Wheatgrass and chai are growing!
