July 4th 2020
in Florida

We had such a fun time on the beach in Florida for July 4th. The governor had banned public fireworks displays but allowed private fireworks - and we took full advantage!!

Summer 2020 after shelter in place

Jessica and the kids spent much of the 2020 Summer at Ping's house in Florida. They had a great time and it was great to have everyone outside for a couple of months after schooling from home across the winter and spring.
