We started the day with light up cars, but then we got ready and hopped in the car for our first outing in a while. The parks have opened in Maple Grove, so we headed to Danny and Heather’s house. Uncle Danny had some old action figures that the boys played with for a while. We had lunch and then we walked to the park. It was a gorgeous sunny day and Xander rode his bike (most of the way, I carried it on and off on the walk there and back, but overall he rode most of the way!).
We went to 2 different parks and both were mostly empty, although we saw a lot of people walking around.
We were gone most of the day and I had 2 very tired boys when we got home in the afternoon.
It was really nice to be outside all day, have a change of scenery, and hang out with Danny and Heather.
As I was preparing dinner, Nate and the boys were outside and Xander fell down and scraped his hand (he’s ok- it’s a small scratch). Nate brought him in to me screaming bloody murder. Like, imagine someone getting their arm chopped off. As I was wiping his tears and trying to calm him down, he started screaming, “SNUGGLES! I NEED SNUGGLES! SNUGGLE MEEEE!!” I am NOT happy he was hurt, but he’s been such a big kid lately and selfishly, I was a little bit relieved that my baby still needs me.
It was nice to get out of the house today and I (like everyone) and eager for our life to go back to normal. I’m really sick of this quarantine life.
