People around the world have been passing through lockdown environment and confined themselves to their residences, but for how long?

As there is no definite answer yet, many people have find out alternative to consume the time and keep themselves busy.

The same way a dad in Puertollano, Spain, takes the trash out with his daughter in different costumes every day and videos of the duo have gone viral online recently.

In order to entertain his three-year old daughter Mara, who got bored during quarantine, Jaime Coronel cherished the opportunity to take the trash from his home to the street, dressing up as a different character each time.

First, Jaime went alone in costume and was successful on the internet. After the Spanish government allowed the children to leave the house as well, the man went on to take his daughter with him.

He did this at around 8 pm when neighbors went to the windows to applaud for the health professionals in the country.

It all started while Jaime organized the pantry and came across Olaf's fantasy. When Mara saw it, she wanted to put on Elsa's. That day, they played with the costumes they had worn in the past at carnivals and Halloween parties.

"When it came time to applaud the health workers, I thought ‘why not go out in costume to put the garbage out?” the father said.

Since then, they have appeared in costume of characters ranging from Frozen, Rapunzel and Pascal, Dragon Ball, Spider-Man, Beauty and the Beast, Batman and Wonder Woman, among others. The tours also became a round around the block, not just to take the trash.
