Escaping Quarantine

With the weather starting to get a little nicer, we escaped quarantine one afternoon and ventured down to the creek near our house.  We are lucky to live near a lot of nature and a few days prior the kids had found a nice private section of the creek filled with minnows.  It was perfect for social distancing, while still having somewhere to go!  We came back a few days later armed with nets and a pail and a plan to catch some fish.  It took a lot of patience, but before long we had a truly impressive haul.

Max also spent a good part of the afternoon attempting to trace the underground paths of some burrowing animal.  He stuck sticks down, ran around finding entrances, stuck his head in and even resorted to digging himself.  I have to admit it was a great deal of entertainment from a literal hole in the ground!  It also made for an amusing picture.
