Hallowen 2020

 No trick or treating in 2020 - instead we lit up the backyard with glow sticks, trick or treated, and watched an outdoor movie. It was easiest and best Halloween ever. 

You -  dressed as me? I said dresing up was required for you to hunt for candy - 
Carter as a blow up dino
June as Moana - of course!

For the neighborhood- that no one took!

Year 4 - Audrey's Last Day

 It was a unique year - where most of the summer was spent playing at home and swimming in our "pools." I think you guys visited Tony's pool, the Y pool, Shelby park a few times, and the Zoo once. Audrey came up with theme weeks that included baking, tie dye, and experiments. There was lots of hide n seek, games, and nerf battles. One week- while Carter was gone -you guys binged the entire series of The Office. Goodness. I still think it was good summer, despite the pandemic!

We love Audrey!

Tomato Arts Fest 2020

It was a very different Tomatofest parade, but we still went! You and Lucie hung from the sunroof, woo-hooed, and made the TF instagram!

2020 Summer Vacation - Ottawa, IL

We had to cancel to the Minneapolis trip because of the virus, but we still wanted to get away from home. I found a place at a "resort" in Ottawa, IL. It had a pool and access to a river- and even better - the Farahs came as well!

Day 1 - Hike Day-
We visited Starved Rock park, saw a waterfall, and sand stone.

Day 2- Boat Day
You had so much fun on the jet ski, tubing, and of course driving the boat!

Day 3- Resort Day
Lesley had friends visit and you has so much fun with Teresa's kids.

 Movie night - you even set up a theater with tickets and security scanning!

Day 4- City Day
We saw some public art, ate lunch and ice cream out - fun times in a small city!

June insisted on matching outfits for the cousin - you insisted in these posed pics!

It was a perfect - Covid vaca!
