This is a very long entry, so here is a short video<\/a> Google Photos made to sum up the day in 45 seconds if you don’t want to read this whole entry :).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today was another day off of work and it was magical. I skipped my workout and had two and a half hours of work meetings, but then by about 10:40, I was FREE. I was a bit worn from the morning meetings, but I found my way upstairs and ended up playing Doctor with Ammon and Clarissa. IT WAS ADORABLE to play with them. An added bonus was I got to be the patient first, which meant lying down, and I was tired :).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are photos and videos of us playing together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After playing Doctor, we had lunch (though I fasted. Lily and I have been experimenting a bit with fasting since she read The Obesity Code.<\/span>) Then I went to the basement and caught up on my personal inbox. While I was doing that, Lydia was upstairs doing her dance class. Here is a photo and four cute videos of her dancing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Clarissa woke up, I was feeling happy both because I got a lot done personally (budget, bills, paying taxes, coordinating things, answering emails etc) and because I was so excited about our picnic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We decide to simplify and drive through Burger King to get Impossible Whoppers for the family and pack them up to the canyon and call that our picnic. Whoppers are very special and nostalgic for me, because they were a go-to for my dad when it was his turn to have us as children. We didn’t have them a ton, but enough to make an impression. Eating Whoppers reminds me of spending time with my dad, and how eating whoppers felt like an occasion. I’ve come to like Impossible Whoppers even more, but they taste so much like the real thing, it still takes me back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After eating, the kids ran around A LOT. I guess they’ve needed it after being at home during Carona Virus Lockdown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here they are playing a game that causes them to run from one tree to another tree. Clarissa just does her best to follow along.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I got some enchanting pictures and this cute video<\/a> of Clarissa:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all had such a good time at the picnic. We got coldstone ice cream on the way home and it was so delicious. Lydia and Mary were being silly with the phone in the back seat and took these pictures and this video.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
