It’s hard to believe we’ve been doing this whole quarantine deal for a month and a half already. At the beginning of April, a month of this sounded like an eternity. . . but slowly, we’ve settled into our new normal.
But it’s always fun to shake things up a little bit, right? So yesterday our family took advantage of the nice weather and hiked the 500 steps trail.
It was a beautiful day to get outside. Spring is definitely on the way, and I’ve been missing it lately because I’ve been stuck at home, so it was great to see tiny leaves on the trees and wildflowers growing by the side of the road. Plus, it was a relief to leave the house without needing to wear a mask 🙂
After our hike, our parents surprised us by stopping at the Ice Shack for dessert. Even though we had to eat in the van, it was a special treat after being stuck at home for so long.
Then for supper, my mom decided to try making Cheesy Chowder, a dish from one of our family’s favorite book series. It was a hit . . . funny how food tastes better when it’s straight from an imaginary world 🙂
Quarantine can get depressing, but it can’t stop us from being creative, having fun or hanging out with the family 🙂
