a long walk with Chelsea, and the Hunchback of Notre Dame

Ammon’s class had a Covid outbreak, so he stayed home for a Mommy-Ammon day. We were in the middle of reading a pile of books when Chelsea called and said she was about to go on a walk with Dakota, her dog. Ammon and I quickly finished our stack and then headed over to pick up Chelsea and Dakota. We drove to Canyon Grove park where we parked and took the dogs and Ammon on a looooong walk and bike ride. We walked for almost two hours!

Of course they flew by because I love Chelsea like a sister. She was so supportive when I vented about Ammon’s kindergarten situation, too. At one point the kindergarten teacher wanted me to log on so Ammon could attend P.E. online. I sent her the picture below in response.

After we walked Ammon played on the playground until one of Chelsea’s twins called and needed to come home from school. We headed over to Foothill, picked him up, dropped him and Chelsea off at their house, and then headed home again. I helped Ammon with his piano practice before heading back out to pick up the girls.

In the evening we all attended the Orem Hale’s production of Hunchback. Olivia, Chelsea’s daughter, is in the play and she did an absolutely amazing job. It was so fun to see her, and we were absolutely floored by the talent of the actors in the play. We are so lucky to live in a place brimming with community theater talent. Honestly, there were several actors in the play who seemed like they should be on Broadway, and we are confused that we got to see them in Orem. Confused but grateful, though!
