"Vorwärts und aufwärts," we suppose, and so our week consisted of lots of yard/ driveway time (yes, we are concerned about Finley in about a decade too);
being fervently grateful for our neighborhood;
and evening lake time at the Fort Bragg lakes, which are not likely to close and which we haven't appreciated nearly enough until now.
For which, again, we are grateful.
Ford got a new kayak and is stubbornly refusing any form of coaching (shocker) but delighted to be able to fish just like Davy Crockett/ Dad.
Both kids enjoyed campfire picnics (don't judge me, yes those are frozen meatballs) and generally acting like hooligans,
and I discovered I can do this. (That's me on a paddleboard towing both delinquents in a kayak.)
Seth entered a virtual fishing tournament and caught a big fish,
kids' science kits were dusted off (to my chagrin, although- to my undying relief- Seth doesn't seem to mind)
and snagging class commenced in the yard.
We kept up most of the Easter traditions on Sunday, although no one sucked instead of blew on the eggs this year and F+F called to brag about this to Missy;
the "good" dishes were laid out in honor of the late, great Mamma Gran;
and Easter egg hunting was paired with Easter axe throwing (both in Christmas PJs) because, why not?
We finished off the long weekend we were planning to spend with lots of family and friends with a beautiful day at the lake in the company of just a few (both under 10).
We paddleboarded and fished and reflected on how fortunate we are in these most turbulent of times.
Plus (photo of the week), Ford got a girlfriend. To be honest, he likes her because she's good at casting, and we wholeheartedly approve.
Happy belated Easter. We hope everybody is coping and getting some fresh air as best they can.
