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.

A photo from cousin - her daughter's first Mother's Day.

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.
