Quarantine 2020 - Backyard Rope Swings

Hey guys, this is my first post!!

First I have to say, I think as a family, we have absolutely been crushing this quarantine. Jay and I are two people with more combined hobbies than most. During quarantine, we have been trying to overload the kids with new experiences and hobbies, so that they're not just stuck in the house all day, getting on our nerves.

We bought both of them archery bows, golf club sets, baseball gear, tree swings and many different simple outdoor activities. They have joined Jay a few times at a local golf course to play 9 holes, as well as, practice at home in the yard and in our simulator. They have both done a couple workouts with me in the garage as well.

Not only has this helped with boredom during the Covid-19 quarantine, but it

is also preparing them for when we move to our new house on over 7.5 acres.

Today we bought a couple tree swings from Walmart and as you can see from the video, they were a hit. These will fit in great on the new property. There are tons of different trees everywhere.

I'm super excited to get them set up on the property with tons of outside things to do, so that they are able to enjoy it just as much as Jay and I will.

Heidi's first US Kids Golf Tournament 08/30/20

Heidi not only had her first competition ever, but her first US Kids Golf tournament!! I don't want to sound conceitedly biased, but my kids are the freaking best! Heidi's attitude and demeanor the entire time was her typical bouncy happy self and that made me super happy because I don't want anything they do as entertainment to ever become so serious that its no longer fun. Let me tell you though, Heidi showed up at the Fox Den golf course to PLAY SOME FREAKIN GOLF!! she played the best game she has EVER played. She swung those clubs like she has been doing this way longer than March. She finished with a 58 on 9 holes, coming in second to a little girl who has been doing this for 2 years and finished with a 56. 3 strokes behind a girl who has been doing this for 2 years. Jay did fantastic as her caddy, giving advise when needed, but mostly letting her just play her game and have fun. As you can hear in the background of the video I was a freaking mess of anxiet...

Finally- We Closed!!!

Our 8 Acres of Paradise 2020 has been something else so far. With all that has been going on, our celebration at the end of this journey was a little lack luster. We are extremely happy, but we are exhausted. COVID-19, put us through it on this one, but not as much as many others. We had delay, after delay, after delay, followed by scrambling to correct errors. Finally its ours! Still, its hard to be completely over the moon, emotionally, with everything that is going on. We have a lot to do and we will have a ball doing it. Time to write a new chapter. I will have much better photos soon. I know a guy.
