Before we had to head back to Texas, Hunter got to dance with a virtual robot!! The view on the phone is what she is seeing.  The robot copies the wearer's movements so they can dance together.

Jeremy's New Drone

6/9/2020

 
Picture
Because Jeremy's birthday falls at the tail end of the summer, he gets his gifts at the beginning of the summer to get the most use of them.  Even though he already got the new Oculus VR this year (full disclosure - so did I for my birthday), it's also time for a drone upgrade!

Time for another "Adventure Challenge: Couples Edition". Today's challenge involved tie dying shirts. We had such a blast we did two each and bought more dye to do it again with the family at the lake next weekend!

Strike + REEL

6/3/2020

 
Picture
Our first (masked and socially distanced) date outside the house in a few months. We checked out the new bowling lanes and movie theater center, "Strike + REEL". It was a great time and fun way to be outside of apartment!!

"The Hapless Baker"

6/1/2020

 
Picture
We are using the "Adventure Challenge: Couples Edition" book for at home dates during this stay-at-home order. Our first adventure is "The Hapless Baker". The one with the least baking experience prepares a pie blindfolded while the one with the most experience verbally steps them through the process. *Blindfold can be removed after the preparation - no putting things in the oven while blind!! (Although we chose a coconut cream pie - no heat required.)
