[quote=Anonymous]Full disclaimer; I don't reside in the DC area. Discovered this site about 10 years ago and enjoy it. Completely understand there are differences in local laws, COL, etc so I respect that.

That being said, I'm a Texan (in Houston area; by the way, despite the governor opening everything and dropping the mask mandate, most people - at least where I go- as well as businesses still wear and enforce masks, so it didn't turn into a free for all as I sort of expected.) Have three kids ages 10/5/2 years old. We we have local grandparents and siblings on both sides that we've seen throughout this time. The older two kids attend a fairy small private school and wear masks everyday, as well as in their TKD class. I don't and will absolutely not make the 2 year old wear a mask. That's pretty unusual here and unnecessary to me. She stays home with me. I take all three to the park often and no masks. Other public areas like zoo where it's enforced or that are indoors, like the grocery store, retail stores, restaurants, etc absolutely, I, dh and older two wear masks, even in the very few places we've gone where not enforced. Stopped ordering curbside or delivery 6+ months ago and do take 2 year old with me when grocery shopping and running other errands, probably 2-4 indoor public spots a week. 
I've been fully vaccinated since February and dh is getting his second dose next week. I know we're in a Pandemic and we're more lax than many on this forum understandably, due to location being a huge factor, but it's been almost 14 months and unless one or all of us got COVID and were completely asymptomatic, we've been fine this whole time. I doubt taking your little ones to a few public places is really going to be huge in getting infected. I was very stressed out and anxious those first few months about our family being safe and we heavily debated about whether older two should go back to in person classes in August, but I'm glad we made the choices we did - that have been available to us; I know in DC and other areas, in person isn't an option depending on location - or I could see myself in a deep depression with this Pandemic.
