The year of storm - part 1

 It's been over a year now since the world shut down. I don't want to use names that might make this blog jump out in a search, so I will use generalities to describe the unnecessary chaos. 

Every person is entitled to think and feel what they would like about what our world has just experienced - and continues to - though in my opinion the rules and regulations that are given and continue to change are purely a flex of power. 

Despite the craziness - no school in person for over a year, millions of jobs lost, authorities controlling masses while they change their minds every week, etc. we have made some great memories!









Andy coached Hudson's basketball team for Winter '20



Hudson got to be a cubscout for a hot second before the world closed...








Spring 20 included quite a few trips to Amy's farm - baby animals and fresh grown veggies - it was a nice "get out of the house to a place that isn't shut down" kind of adventure...
Another favorite - driving up the hill to the snow! Can't close nature! Thankfully we had a few families that we hung out with during the chaos - made life survivable. 




A few trips to Tahoe and a special trip to Redding definitely kept spring interesting!

June/July 2019


 Fourth of July Tahoe trip round FIVE! Ziplining, paddleboarding, crawdads, biking over to Sand Harbor, Fireworks, S'mores, and lots of time with Oma, Grandpa and Grandma!


















 Church camp at Purpose! The kids loved it!



 Ted has taken up sailing - so for Fathers day we took him sailing on the Pacific! The kids loved it - I was in a corner of the boat trying not to throw up for part of the time, but it was still fun!


Our first time camping in a camper with the kids! We went to Point Magu in Malibu
