It was windy this morning and we took advantage and flew our first kite together.
 

It's a rainy morning but that didn't stop us from taking a stroll before work.
 

We had the park all to ourselves this morning.
 

He created a bed of sticks at the park today.
 

The temperature has dropped and the early mornings are a bit chilly. Still wont stop us from getting in a morning walk.
 

We wandered to the park and it appears they've mowed the grass. He had fun zooming up and down the marks in the grass.
 

Always wonderful when there are blue skies above.
 

It's a chilly day out today, but we tried to get out and enjoy nature.
We spooked a turkey while we were wandering around Hager park.
It was a little warmer in the afternoon when we went back out, so that was nice.
 

He loves climbing among tree branches.
 

I don't work today, which means it's a free day! The 6 year old is enjoying his big wheel, now that he can reach the pedals.
We did a lap around the park together. There is still some snow, but it's melting and will be gone in a few days.
 

It rained recently, but now the temperature is cooler and ice is forming. Fascinating for a 5 year old.
 

In the evening, we went out to the local park and enjoyed looking at dandelions and seeds.

Around 5pm, the governor of Michigan extended the stay at home order to June 12th. Cases have been going up the last few days in West Michigan, and the state overall is still seeing an increase of cases, although not nearly as quickly as had been several weeks ago.

In talking with several friends, I think a number of employers were struggling to get everything organized and ready based on the requirements in Executive Order 2020-97. This order discusses how various companies have to implement certain measures to keep their staff and communities safe. So the extra few weeks will be great for everyone to become more familiar with these guidelines and implement them.



At lunch I went out to pump up the tires in my bike a little more (they were still low). The inner tube split, which isn't surprising given it's 11 years old.
Instead of riding around, Quinn and I took a walk at the local park.
Then we spent a few hours outside in the yard playing, and doing sidewalk chalk art.
We had a lot of fun and enjoyed the sunshine very much.

 
The number of cases in Michigan continue to grow, with the Detroit and metro Detroit areas hit hardest. The worst of COVID-19 here in Michigan is yet to come, so we expect the governor to extend the stay at home order past 4/12.
The weather was beautiful during the day so we went to the park and Quinn rolled down the hill a bunch of times.
In the evening his preschool class had a meeting via zoom. It was chaotic but they all seemed to have a lot of fun.
