Big Springs date with the Tiemans

In the morning I took Ammon to his soccer game while Abe dropped off the van for maintenance and took the kids to the park. It was a beautiful day with so many beautiful flowers in bloom.

After the kids found a tablecloth and made themselves a picnic lunch.

Then Abe and the girls practiced the new art technique Andrea taught them.

In the evening Liberty came to babysit and Abe and I went on a date with the Tiemans. We met them in Big Springs Canyon and had a picnic together. After months of distancing, it felt amazing to be with real live friends again–for two nights in a row. Wow! Being outside helped us feel safe and we sat at opposite ends of the table, and it felt like the best of all worlds. They are such good, kind, easy people to be with and by the end we were discussing future camping trips together. I hope it happens!
