Quarantine week 20: River day!

 For the week of 7/28-8/3

We did lots of crafts and activities, and finished the week off with a trip to the river with some friends.

We got two bags of blueberries from some friends, and Miles ate them all in two days!

Ruby and I picked all of these flowers from our street. 

I told Reid that if he read 30 books to me, I would buy him this gear set. So he worked hard and earned it!

I bought a legitimate pencil sharpener since we're doing school at home this year!

The kids all love getting "free lunch" provided by the school district.

The kids got out the craft box...........

We got this bracelet making kit and Ruby made bracelets for everyone.

Reid found a puzzle and worked so hard on it.

Meanwhile, Ruby got a headache and didn't feel good on Saturday.

I had to help him with the blue parts, but he did great!

Ruby started feeling a lot better on Sunday. We made this fun ocean diorama.

It turned out pretty cute.

Then on Monday, we met my friend Elaine and her boys at Sauvie Island and played in the river for about 4 hours! It was so lovely and perfect, it ended up being a really great day.

The kids had tons of fun playin in the sand and the water. Ruby and Flint stayed in for most of it.

Miles and Ezra had fun playing in the sand.

Helping little brother swim.

The boys woke up really early the next morning, so I told them to build the beach out of Duplos... a little while later Reid came out with this. The gray block at the bottom is our house, the brown block is where we bought our parking pass, then the road over the bridge and down the island. At the end is two adults talking on the beach, and the kids playing in the water, which spun around! He is just so creative.
