We are pretty cautious - no playdates, no indoor dining, only went outdoor dining once etc. Try to limit trips anywhere indoors so mostly just go to grocery store and outside hikes and such.

Anyway we went to Gaver Farm last week for their fall festival. Key point - we went during off hours on a weekday in earlyish September. We planned not to go in if it looked too busy. We were all happy it was not too busy and had a blessedly normal day for once for our child. Not busy means we never really got closer than 6 feet to others, she had the large jumping pillow to herself etc. We brought hand sanitizer but they had tons there. We wore masks the whole time but not everyone did unfortunately. We felt it was okay since we distanced so much though.

So I wanted to share that info with anyone else thinking of this and also to ask if anyone else has recommendations for other options that might be very uncrowded and safe during nonpeak hours this week. I am assuming once October comes they will all get busier.
