Happy birthday Josh

 Josh asked for Costco chocolate cake with candles. We are out of candles apparently, so we had to stick sparklers in instead. No blowing out candles, Covid. I think that’s a good tradition to keep.

Ice cream

 Our Primary gave out coupons for a free ice cream treat at Leatherby’s. This is what Josh chose, but was unable to finish entirely. 

Freedom field

Tonight we took Josh by the Freedom Field. It has one flag for each person killed in the September 11th attacks.

Afterwards we went mini-golfing since Josh just finished up his first golf lessons.

 

Blood moon

As if this year didn't have enough going on. Here's a blood moon. The west (California, Oregon, Washington, and even Utah) is on fire. So we get smokey polluted air in the day and blood moons at night.

 

Homecoming?

School dances are canceled this year. Big bummer for this Senior year girl who loves socials. Kids are now just organizing their own events in the community. McKinley and a couple friends went to one put together by kids at Mountain Ridge. Turned out to have hundreds of unmasked kids there, which was not corona smart, but she had a fun night and didn't get infected.
