One of the last walks Emily gave Scout. His owners are working from home and didn't need her to stop by mid-day and walk him. She misses the three dogs she used to check in daily. The bit of freedom it afforded her to get out of the house, a break from school work, and the paycheck! She likes to babysit, but LOVES to dog walk!
Noelle cashed in her 1 on 1 spa date with me. We went to the newly remodeled Nikki's Nails. It wa amazing.
All the kids participated in Junkbox Wars with the HSAP, turns out this was the last HS related thing we did in person. The challenge this year was to take your junk components and make a marble maze. Team to have the marble on the maze the longest took home bragging rights. It is a great cooperative thing for the kids to do.
We joined Robert on a work trip to Lexington, Kentucky. The last pool we swam in. Also a first, we were complained about by a grumpy man who had the room beneath us. Rob and I were at the front desk when he complained! We cut the trip short. States were continually making hour by hour decisions about COVID-19. And I sometimes think our government makes rash choices, so my first, worst nightmare was getting stuck in KY in this hotel room with my family. I wanted to be stuck in my slightly larger house (with my family)
On our way into KY we did stop and tour the Ark. This warrants its own post. But it was magnificent, I think everyone should go. These were interior doors, they had lighting rigged up so the cross would only show up in photos.
As things were shutting down while in KY, and Robert was working. The kids and I found some outdoors activities. We visited a couple local county parks that were open and hiked.
I had Noelle research eateries. She found a completely GF Cafe to try. We bought several special pastries for only her! She was excited that she could eat everything in the place! While we were picking out treats the owner was waiting to hear the KY governor's proclamation, she was expecting to have to close. By that evening, our only food choice was drive thru, so we hit up the Chick-fil-a by our hotel. The front desk told us they would not be serving breakfast in the morning. Robert and I decided we could get up at 5 am and be ready to head home!
