Yesterday’s second vaccine for Holmes took hold today. Ice cream for a snack helped, snacks for lunch were good to munch, but a solid nap was just the ticket (even though I checked constantly to make sure he was still breathing).

Practice, practice!

We love Tylenol! Life is looking like it just might resume a little bit. Second day of negative tests for us three. Frank’s fever broke too; he’s still basement bound and can tell you anything about any sports at this point:)

FaceTime night time in our own house:) Good night, sleep tight, let’s hope more rest boots those COVID bugs out of here.

Cause and effect! The kids are loving garden hose experiments…and surprise water squirts:)

Now that the blueberries are ripening, Holmes is finding a daily need to see what’s edible. He literally says, “I need to go check my garden.” He does love fruit.

It’s hot! Beach time has commenced!

Holmes ended up trying to find the biggest rocks on the beach to throw into the water.

Bouldering with Elliot! Holmes took the lead and kept going! That cool cousin Elliot factor, such a boost:)

What a fun idea to create a horizontal climbing obstacle course! (Thanks, Elliot.)

Chalk dusting, cleaning climbing holds, it’s a thing. Preserve the grip!

Drills and cherry pickers! What doesn’t this place have?

It was a GREAT trip! Who’s ready for routines and preschool and summer camp? We are!

Seattle!
