I'm not quite sure we would survive these COVID times without an awesome outdoor wilderness to get us through. Pools didn't open to later in summer, and even though they were open it was near to impossible to get one of the 44 open spots that they had. SO, we have resorted to lakes and streams and waterfalls and mountains. WHICH is pretty awesome. I feel grateful for so many things...1) that I had my surgery in winter so that I could actually move during summertime. 2) my kids are old enough to make these things relatively doable. 3) we have options...whether it's Union Res which is 5 mins from us, or Rogers grove which is 10 mins or even our new fave hiking spot which is 45 mins we have options! I also feel lucky we have the Fru5FIVE.FIVE.FIVE. Did I say 5? I say this because...I know some other dear friends who have only one child, or do not have friends/family near. This time during COVID has been so harsh. And while it hasn't necessarily been a piece of cake, it has been so much easier because my kids have each other, we have friends that are willing to include us in their tribe, and having grandparents that are near=priceless.
So cheers to the water, because it has been my goal this summer on the daily...find water...get in it!~
love,
mom
