Hiking and home schooling

This week we had a full week at home. The weather wasn't great but we tried to go on a bunch of hikes.  We also had some fun dying our hair purple.

1st round of the year

This was the first full week of home schooling.  Elan and Mila were able to take breaks from their school work to do some one line karate classes.

On Saturday we were able to get in 9 holes at Quail Ridge in Acton.  We were all pretty rusty from the winter and lost a lot of balls!

On Sunday we drove down to the cape to check on the house.  We took a short walk to the beach but it was quite chilly.  After coming back home and the temperature got a little warmer we worked in the yard and played outside.

Getting outside

On Friday, they closed the schools for at least a week due to COVID-19.  We spent half of the day working on school work and then enjoyed the warm spring afternoon.  On Friday night, Mila and Elan tested for their purple belts.

Since a lot of things have been closed due to the virus so we tried to spend time outside with just us.  Mat is in California skiing so we couldn't go golfing, so we went to the golf range instead. 

Ski team championships

On Friday the Otters had their end of season pizza and poster making party. Unfortunately, at the end of the party, it was announced that championships were canceled due to COVID-19.  Luckily the rest of the weekend events were not canceled. 

On Saturday, Mat and Mila went to the Shamrock ball, which is a dance that our town recreation hosts for girls in grades 2-6.  We started out the evening going to the Hollywood's house for snacks.  Then the guys took the girls out to dinner before the dance.

 We got up early on Sunday morning to get to ski team championships.  Both kids had a great race.  Mila ended up 4th and got a trophy. It was really warm so got to enjoy the sun while the race was running.  Nashoba ended up winning championships and it was fun to celebrate with the team.

Race at Ski Ward

This weekend we were busy again with races.  On Saturday, Elan and Mila had a swim meet and on Sunday there was a ski race at Ski Ward.
