Physical (social) Distancing Responsibly in the Outdoors
Follow the CDC guide lines and wash your hands before and after your activity and wear face mask if appropriate. Avoid groups other than your family.
Enjoy your back yard
This is especially the time to enjoy your own back yard. Get back to basics draw or practice yoga with your kids in the yard. Get that soccer ball out and kick it around with the kids. Go for a walk or bike ride in your neighborhood.
If you venture a little further from you backyard (avoid extensive travel)
We live in an area that can be easily accessed to open spaces and nature.
