Ways to stay busy during stay-at-home order

For spring break, my family was supposed to go to Walt Disney World. Though our trip isn’t happening, we’ve been there before so we know all our favorite rides. We used our VR goggles to watch these rides from home, and it was almost as fun as the real thing.

Anyone who knows me, knows I love to dance. Though my classes are all online now, I’ve still been able to meet with my teachers and learn new combos. I have a small dance floor in my basement that I’ve been using to practice dances I know and even improv some new ones. In this photo, I’m about to go to my online tap class.

To have something sweet and cheer us all up, I decided to make some chocolate chip cookies. I used a mix, so they weren’t handmade, but it was still fun to do and took up some time. My whole family approved of the end result; they were fresh out of the oven and delicious!

The weather outside, though not sunny, was a bit milder, so during the day I went for a walk with my sister and mom. We just went on a brief 20 minute stroll around the neighborhood, but it was nice to leave the house for a while and get fresh air.

With so much free time on his hands, my dad was able to reconnect our old Wii. My sister and I took on our favorite game - Just Dance. It was a great way to get some exercise while indoors, and was much more fun than a traditional workout. As a dancer myself, the game was fun because it incorporated nontraditional styles and moves.
