Covid Staycation Day 2

Today was a stay in town day due to my covid test appointment. The excitement of the day was going through the car wash!

Then we went up to Battle Ground to peruse their Goodwill. I continued to hunt for preschool books for Ellie Bean and Steven and Selah browsed. 

After getting MOD to go, we came home, watched a movie and then played some games.

Enjoy these super exciting pictures! 😉










Covid Staycation Day 1

Steven had to take time off of work to use up some of his vacation, but since we couldn't really go anywhere, we decided to do a staycation with Selah, mostly hanging out at or near home and letting her have all the junk food and eating out we'd normally do on a vacation.

Day one saw us heading to the Oregon Zoo. Some changes to normal operations included purchasing tickets online for a set time to enter, paying for parking via an app, wearing masks, social distancing, and following the one way map through the zoo. Also a few of the exhibits (most of the indoor ones) were closed. Honestly, I like visiting the zoo better this way, with the exception of wearing the mask outside in the heat for a couple of hours, but the zoo did provide some places for a mask break which was nice. Less people and a one way track is super efficient for seeing everything you want to see in a reasonable amount of time. 





Finally an elephant ear!







Finally Dippin' Dots!






Still not as tall as a baby giraffe. Whew!





Very cool idea!
