I have used so many of these ideas over the years with my grandkids. We have had tons of fun camping in the backyard, doing treasure hunts and obstacle courses and of course baking cookies.

We have been doing some gardening together. Each person gets to pick one thing to plant or glow whether flower or veggie

family time is so important and it's something that I think has become emphasized over the past couple of months. At least something good has come of all of this, just as the bible says...

Even though things have opened up a bit we are still self isolating. The backyard and games and movies have been what the kids have loved most.
