I think we're all ready for this school year to be over. We always feel that way at this time of year, but particularly this year when things have been so weird for so long.
We've tried to go on at least one outing a week. Last Friday we headed back to the zoo. It's been closed for several months and we have really missed it. We think the animals missed us too.
The weather was pretty bad and some animals weren't out because they had to put them away for safety. But it was good just to be outside. (We've had lots of rain.)
We decided to go for a scenic drive and headed out towards Chapin. On the way, David rescued a turtle.
We came across this little trail on the side of the road and decided to explore it. It was a nice little walk.
I think these were wild raspberries, but we didn't dare find out.
It was a beautiful day.
Last week hair salons finally opened again and I was able to get Baylie an appointment for this Tuesday.
We like to do extensions for the summer. It's so nice to have somebody else do it besides me!
On Friday, we went with the Alsups to get the girls' stuff from the middle school. We love their principal and are so sad that she is moving to a different school next year.
Baylie was recognized for her service as a student ambassador and also received an award from her math/science teacher for being the outstanding 6th grade student. We are so proud of her!
We later found out that she was also chosen as the outstanding student by her drama teacher! They just forgot to give us the award. She loves her drama teacher.
Friday night, we had the Alsup girls over for about 10 hours of play time. It was so good for all the kids to have some time together. It is really hard on kids to be isolated. Baylie especially needs time with friends.
I love watching these sweet friendships.
Today marked 10 months since I started Optavia. I have lost 71 pounds and it has been amazing.
Life is pretty good at the Batchelor Pad.
