Continuing with distant learning.  Quinn signs in to his google classroom to see his assignments.  I frequently make him a morning smoothie that includes riced cauliflower, pineapples, mango, banana, protein powder, flax seeds, coconut butter, and almond milk.  So delicious and it fills his belly.

Our daily movement.  Waving down to Don hard at work in the office.

On the trails.

Quinn was once stung by a bee and it really hurt so he avoids them at all cost.  He saw a bee on the trail so ran back to the trailhead to wait for me.  In order to protect his pack, Sonic runs back and forth between the two of us to make sure we are ok.

Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie.  We made it with Almond Flour and it was so delicious.  It lasted less than 24 hours before disappearing.

They had so much fun.   I loved hearing them all together. 

Quinn is learning how to clean his room and his bathroom. 

Quinn\’s TKD studio has started Zoom classes.  A great way for Quinn to move his body and connect with his Masters and friends. 

A little ping pong for PE today.  Quinn tried out his Darth Maul paddles.  I still crushed him. 

And tuba tuba every day.  He breaks it into three 10 minutes sessions. 

On Thursday Quinn had his first Zoom class with his Math/Science teacher.  It was just to dip their toes in and get them going.  He has had assignments all week, although it only takes him about 1 – 2 hours of work. 

His science assignment was to visit the Smithsonian Natural History Museum via computer and write a paragraph about it.  He saw that he could do it with his virtual reality headset.  How cool is that?  We all took a turn and loved it.

With the sun setting later Don and I are able to get out for a hike after he finishes work.  Love this place. 

Another day, another hike.   We went on our 6th of the required 10 hikes for the Open Space Challenge.  Today we picked the Ceanothus Trail, which was new for us.  Alot of people were out social distancing but very few people on this trail.

We (as in Don) found 3 geocaches along the trail.  This one wasn\’t a simple grab and log. 

Quinn enjoyed rolling big rocks down the trail to see how far they would go.   This is a look back towards Thousand Oaks and beyond.
