a day in the life of quarantining at the island -school Bahamas

By -
I woke up this morning and layed in my bed until I heard my mom coming into the kitchen to get ready to do farm chores.
   For the morning farm chores I help my mom water plants and then I went to go  feed the chickens and the pig which we call BossHogg while my brother feeds the ELC chickens then when we finish chores we come back to the house to have breakfast, which today was pancakes then me and my brothers ran down to the beach to have a swim before online school.
    For online school my brothers zoomed to work on a scientific method experiment while I looked at my digital planner to see what work I had to do.
 After we'd finished all we had to do for online school we went up to aquaponics to help out.
    First we put on our masked and gloves and got ready to harvest, after we were done we'd filled five whole bags of lettuce.
   Next we took all the scraps and put them in a bucket to feed to the land crabs.
   Then we took all the pots and shook the dirt out of them into the pile, and then we put the pots in the bin and take the boards the cups sit on to wash, and then we put them back and we went home for lunch.
     For lunch we had salad and pesto we made.
   After lunch we worked a little more at our online school work before going to the farm to pick fruit.
   Then we went to the research place because our friend Gloria had offered had offered to show use some of the research she was doing on corals.
    After learning about corals we went and swam in triangle cut until dinner.

    Thanks for the description of your day, Kai. It gives Lovey and me a much better picture about your island life. Sure sounds like you are busy and are taking good care of the animals. Wish I could have had the lesson about the coral. I liked snorkeling and looking at coral with your Dad in Maui but I could certainly learn a lot more about how coral is formed.

    Lovey and I are staying in the house a lot because of the COVID-19 coronavirus. 1,000 people have caught the disease in our state of South Carolina and the mayor of our town has asked everyone to stay home except for going to the grocery store or the pharmacy for medications. We have been taking long walks with Lucy around the neighborhood but stay away from people. Lucy is behaving better during these walks. She used to want to stop every few feet to sniff stuff on the ground so that it took a long time for us to get anywhere. Now she has the idea that we want to walk, not just stand around, and cooperates. Afterwards she takes a long nap. Sometimes we do too.
    Really good to hear from you and you write quite well. Pop Pop

    Wondering if anyone is playing April Fool's Day jokes there today.

We meet again in Hueco Tanks

We Meet Again at Hueco Tanks                            by            Kai Stanton Holloway  I'm back," I whispered to the boulders staring down at me. Hueco Tanks has overhangs, face, and slab climbs--everything you would expect in bouldering heaven and, in my opinion, the best v2 ever.     As soon as we pulled into our campsite my brother and I couldn’t wait to get to the mountain and we both had one route in our mind. My dad, brother and I hiked up North Mountain treading on the same trail as three years before. Everything was how I remembered it. I walked past all the routes I had climbed when I was eleven. Could I still climb them now that I was fourteen?     I walked past a pile of crash pads and there in front of me was Nobody Gets Out Alive in my opinion the best v2 of all time. We’re here, my dad told us. I unclipped my climbing shoes from my backpack and looked at the overhanging climb. Its chalked face looked back at me as if daring me to try and climb her.     I sto

Two Eye Catching MultiPitch Climbs in Potrero Chico Mexico

  Two Eye Catching MultiPitch Climbs in Potrero Chico                                     By Kai Holloway  I looked down at the Potrero Chico Valley, and across at the stunning limestone cliffs that make up the climbing paradise of Mexico. We were at the summit of Super Nova, a classic eight pitch 5.11, water fall like rock feature. I couldn’t believe we had actually made it to the Yosemite of Mexico. This January my family of five began our climbing adventure starting in Maine, and traveling south towards the Shawangunks, and Potrero Chico. Throughout our trip south in our skoolie (converted school bus that we call BaseCamp) I had been dreaming of climbing and hiking in Potrero Chico because of its unique concentration of world class multi and single pitch sport routes. It was everything I hoped for, and a few pitches more! These are my two favorite climbs in Potrero Chico. Super Nova: My favorite route we did during our time in Potrero Chico was Super Nova, an amazing eight pitch 5.1

  Winning the Elizabethtown Mother's Day 5K By Kai Holloway Sprinting for the finish line. (Photo taken by my grandmother Lovey) It was three o'clock, and my grandfather, whom we call Pop Pop, had signed up our whole family for the Mother's Day 5K race. My two little brothers, Zev (8) and Cove (12), my mom, dad, and I (15) were all going to be running. It was 2:55 p.m. We all had our bibs and race shirts on. We were gathered around a big oak tree, stretching, and my grandmother, whom we call Lovey, took a pre-race photo. Pre race family photo Soon afterward, all the runners were called over to the starting line to start the race at 3:00 p.m. The race director talked for a little while, and then said over his loudspeaker, "Now, let's take a moment of silence... for all the mothers out there." It was an interesting way to start a race. I stood there about two rows in from the start line, my heart poundin
