Nice week for being outside

This week the weather has been nice, warm but not hot in the middle of the day, and cool but not super cold in the morning and evenings.  Matt took advantage of the nice temperature and took the kids to a hiking area after remote learning on Monday that they learned about when they hiked on New Year's Eve.  It is call Reservoir Canyon and they really enjoyed the hike. Just enough of a hike to get moving but not a long commitment.  There is a waterfall and a cave.  Matt took this cool photo of Olivier at the cave entrance that reminds us of the cave in the Miss Peregrine's books they have read/are reading.  

And this is from outside the cave looking at Olivier in the same spot.  Gives you an idea of how dark the cave is!

Today we decided to go back and check out the hike together as a family.  It was so nice out!

I went in the cave and took this photo of Mason just outside.  

And Anna looked really cool in this rock/tree chair.  Very important!

It has been a good week.  Still looks like everything is on track for the boys to return to modified in person instruction on March 8th and Anna on March 15th.  It will be a bit of a juggle, at least while we sort out how traffic will be at pickup and drop off, but a positive step.  More people are getting vaccinated, including some of our parents, which is a positive step in moving forward.  Tomorrow we may head to a park and play some bocce ball!
