In the afternoon, we went to park for a lovely walk with Buffy.  
I used to bring Alex to this park once a week while he was in k-grade.  We hosted a birthday party here for him.  We went to the first tables available as it was a little down hill for my folks to walk.  I know we had food and cake.  But even though the four Friday Group kids and their moms met us there too, I only remember the perfect gift from my parents.  It was a yellow ball - he loved playing with that.


This park is designed so people in wheel chairs can have fun on the paths and equipment.

Years later, I would bring my mom her when she was in a wheel chair.  I would somehow get the wheelchair over to his piece of equipment.  She would stand and reach up and walk while hold on to the rungs of the horizontal ladder.

We had such a nice time last Sunday on our walk that we decided to try going to a different park with Buffy again.  This time we drove to the park that was by my folks place.  So many people were there, but it is a large one so socially distancing was easy to do.  These little family outings have been our first since the shut in.  It's sort of a soft restart to normal life for us.
