Tye Dye and Iowa Reopens


Today in Iowa many restrictions regarding COVID-19 containment have been lifted. Restaurants, gyms, campgrounds, libraries, malls, salons and other retail establishments are able to reopen under new capacity restrictions and other guidelines. Bars, casinos, theatres, museums, playgrounds, and pools are still ordered closed. Gatherings of more than 10 people continue to be prohibited although I'm not sure how that works in conjunction with restaurants being allowed to reopen? There are currently 14,328 positive COVID-19 cases in the state and 346 deaths. 

Nothing has really changed for us. We continue to stay home although we are being more relaxed about the kids playing with neighbor kids. 

Because retail stores were allowed to reopen I was able to go to Michael's to buy a Tye Dye kit. The kids were looking for a change of pace and a nice project to keep them busy for a while. They all dyed t-shirts, tank tops and socks. Evy and Graham went a little overboard on their projects, using up all of the teal and purple dye within 5 minutes so that set the project off on the wrong tone. Everyone eventually recovered and created some pretty cool stuff.
