We went down to Beaver again for the third week in a row (I think we have been in Beaver more the last three weeks than I have the 3 years prior combined!). This week we went down to celebrate Ginger's 85th Birthday. As with many others, we are celebrating the birthday Corona-style! We planned a parade. We had to go down earlier because I had early classes to teach and Lucky Dragon had French.
I had to laugh to see that as I was working, he ran his own Zoom meeting. I guess that is one result of COVID-19...our children can have conference meeting like an adult!
We painted signs for Ginger's parade. Koala Bear wanted hers to be red and Lucky Dragon wanted to paint a rainbow! I think they got more paint on their clothes and Pluba's porch than they did on the posters.
It was so fun to see all the family that could make it to celebrate with our family matriarch...and the people from town that drove by in celebration too! Ginger has served people in Beaver for 85 years. It was apparent that was true based on the length of the line of cars coming to celebrate.
I taught class from the car. I had the laptop up on the dashboard so my class could watch the parade as we talked. They laughed because they have now seen a creepy house during class last week and this week they saw a small town Corona-birthday parade--but what they were MOST excited about was the polygamists that live in the house right across from the parade. HAHA
Several days of playing with cousins is exhausting! Why find a bed when you can just make a next of blankets on the floor!
We then went up in the mountains to celebrate Kadee's birthday next! It was perfect weather. We went on adventure trips, built fires, found sticks, threw pinecones and stones, laughed and just enjoyed time together.

In Beaver there is always fun things to do with big farm equipment!
