Last week this kid turned six. If there had been no pandemic We were supposed to have gone to Florida and Legoland and then come home for a big a Lego party. But that did NOT seem safe so instead we landed on him inviting a friend fishing and swimming at the local lake. His friend brought his sister and mom and auntie Kathleen came. Anyhow it was a good fish party.
He caught a giant catfish which snapped the line before we got it in. But we saw it and it was big. I am glad I didn’t have to unhook it and touch it, the worms were bad enough.
Even though we hit the lake before noon it was really much busier than it has been in years, people mostly kept their distance with a few exceptions.
It was a good weekend and for maybe 20 minutes I was out in public and not worried about social distancing and then someone would get close and I would yell at my kids to give someone space. Ugh.
I bought him a trampoline and some legos and we had his favorite meal of Mexican.
Anyhow happy birthday to my fun, loving, clever boy who loves the color red, wants to be a lego master builder and wishes the neighbors cat was his.
