As with most spring breaks the weather this week has been just so-so. Typical early spring in the high desert but atypical in that there is a stay home order. The kids have been out biking on the trails outside our neighborhood so that’s been nice. We get out for walks but still a decent amount of lounging. Holly is clearly oblivious to the stresses of the world right now.
Kelly and I had a couple quick trips to town. One was to pick up rubber bands for Noah’s braces. Of course they were closed and told us they would leave them taped on the door. It seems that we weren’t the only ones.
Abbie baked some cupcakes with homemade icing and we had an afternoon cupcake break one day!
With nothing to do many people have been outdoor recreating. The trailheads are packed. That came to an end as of today. All national forests in the area are now closed - trailheads, snow parks, and day use areas, so unless it’s outside your backyard it’s off limits starting tomorrow March 28. We are grateful that e back up to so many trails right out our door.
Today, in the afternoon we did a trip to a couple of close local caves. The last time we were here was March 2011 and it was just Hunter, Noah and me.
