We woke up to Easter church bells and a slew of WhatsApp messages from parents in our cohort planning a park outing. After pancake brunch, not enough coffee, and some inexplicable splashing in the bathroom sink, off we went with our folding stroller & skateboard attachment to a nearby park (with a café!). Although we’d been “meeting” our cohort parents online over the past few weeks – 21 families with 46 children – it was a whole different experience to meet folks in person – and hear that nobody’s kids slept last night. What a bonding experience to be equally excited and exhausted! Thankfully the weather is appropriate for sunglasses.

The kids had fun running around in a new setting, we had fun socializing with new people, and we all came home for pasta dinner – lesson learned.

On a separate note – Guillermo may have missed his calling as an Italian-American plumber, having fixed both our washer/dryer and bathtub tonight. We’re waiting to see what the dishwasher kicks up.

Guille’s favorite part of today: playing “tractor” at the park.
