The Desert Museum opened back up on 6/15 so I was there. Being so hot I didn't stay long.
Nathan received his Masters Club awards at church on 6/21. He got the Testimony Badge, Patriotism Badge, First Aid Badge, Do Unto Others Badge, God's Creation Badge, Bible Study 1 Badge, Bible Series 1 Badge, Discovery Bronze Badge, Uniform Inspection and Sunday School Faithfulness Badge. That day was also Father's Day. We didn't get to celebrate it much because we decided to go to Chicago the next day.
We decided to go visit our family and friends in Chicago 6/22-6/30. 6/24 we went with my friend Debbie Madl and her kids to Summerfield Farm & Zoo. The next day we dropped Nathan off at Aunt Lisa's for a sleepover so Paul and I actually had some time alone. We picked up Ledo's pizza for lunch and ended up by Lake Katherine in Palos Heights. I took a lot of pictures there because there were baby geese, baby swans, a waterfall, waterlilies, flowers, etc...
On 4th of July, there were no fireworks due to fire danger and COVID-19 gathering restrictions. Paul cooked out, we swam in our pool and we made smores.
Tucson Botanical Gardens opened back up so I went there on 7/9.
My June Noon and Apricot Glow cacti decided to bloom on 7/12.
Another Apricot Glow flower opened on 7/13. I went to Pima County Cooperative Extension Gardens that day, too. I thought they were closed due to COVID-19, but someone told me that they were open.
I went back to the Pima County Cooperative Extension Gardens on 7/16 and 7/17.
I went over to Saguaro National Park on 7/21 to take sunset pictures.
Nathan went with me to church on 7/22 for VBS. I have been helping with the snacks this year.
We celebrated a late Father's Day at Vivace's on 7/24. Later that night I went over by Picture Rocks Rd and Contzen Pass to take sunset pictures.
We decided to go peach picking and tomato picking at Apple Annie's on 7/25. Paul and Nathan had peach pancakes and we all had some roasted corn. Later that night lost his 9th tooth! It had been 3 years since he lost a tooth. The tooth fairy gave him $10 and a certificate.
