So what can I say about summer 2020? It's been a pretty typical summer. Lots of swimming, trips to the snow cone place, bike rides, trips in the convertible to get ice cream cones. We've tried to make it fun for the kids but for the most part we are still socially distancing ourselves from people. This is the first year we haven't taken a summer vacation. Why? The coronavirus is still wrecking havoc on our country and I have no desire to expose myself or my family to it while driving or flying around the country. So we stay home and wear masks in public and try to make it as normal of a summer as possible.
Part of making it feel normal is having my pal Jessica and her kids over to swim each week. The local public pool has been packed full because it is one of the few pools in the area that decided to open this year. People from all over have made the trip out to swim in our little town and at one point it had a 100+ kids a day in it. It made me very thankful that we purchased our above ground pool last year (we bought it for $300 used off of craigslist). Jessica didn't want her kids exposed to that many kids at the public pool so we invited them over to swim every week. It's been fun sitting in the shade on the deck while the kids have fun together.
We will continue to have fun and stay home as long as possible.....or until school starts. That's a whole different post for another day.
