Backyard Quarantine

Bobby just got back from Las Vegas.  He had to attend a work conference from this past Monday to Friday.  He did test negative on a Rapid Test yesterday when he returned home, but just to be on the safe side, we're having him quarantine in the backyard.  That meant buying a couple of new tents since Graham and Charlie will be keeping Bobby outside too.

Graham never misses a beat when it comes to setting up anything!  The boys will be in this 3-sleeper:

And Bobby will be in this pop-up tent.  I say "pop-up" because that's literally what it does - when you unfold it, it automatically pops into this exact tent below!  And then, you just have to anchor it down with some of the rope provided:
Next time when we open it up, I'll have to take a video.  If this tent is anything like the little pop-up one that we use for the beach, it will going to be "interesting" to see how we will fold it back together.  Ha ha!

Yup Daddy... off you go into the tent!

I'm glad I set up those new outdoor lights by the very back/top patio.  It provides so much more lighting.  These tents look so cozy! And of course, we are social distancing too:
Bobby has his little window on each side of his little tent for some ventilation :-)
Checking in on the boys and looks like all good!  Charlie has his night life and reading light and book and blankie and his stuffed puppy.  Graham has his stuffed heavy Dragon. I sort of limited what they could bring into their tent because I really don't want to have extra laundry to do!  So of course, everyone has their own sleeping bag as those are easy to clean:
Looks like it will be down to the low 50s F these next few nights.  I'm guessing both boys will be back in the house tomorrow/Sunday night as they have school on Monday.  Does that mean I have to keep Bobby company outside?  Oh, Graham said I need to watch the house so I've been sleeping in our bed last night and again tonight :-P

Haven't quite figured out how many night Bobby will need to quarantine outside.  Hmmm, maybe at least until Sunday night and then re-test on Monday? We'll keep an eye out on symptoms too.  Sheesh, what a world we live in these days!!!
