Staying Physically Fit
/Back in the Day
On this particular day, we were jump roping on National Mall in between the Capitol and the Washington Monument. There were lots of people out and walking about. It was awesome.
We went old school. I remember jumping rope with my sisters and neighbors at my grandmother's house. Fast-forward, We keep a jump rope and parachute in the car for impromptu picnic and jump rope wars. When we arrived at the national mall, my girls were eager to get the jump rope out. We had a great time! We encouraged others to get in on the action but we had no takers!
Healthy Competition
In the video, Audrey took the first part of the video. You will hear Audrey talking healthy trash about how she touched the ground while jumping rope and Alivia did not- “She didn’t touch the ground but I did.” Alivia sees the challenge, knows she can, and not only touches the ground, but also takes a running start into the jump rope. They push each other to do more. I sit back and watch with a big fat smile on my face. #proudmommoment Grateful for the time to be present.
Effect Change
As always, may we encourage each other's to affect change while living, loving, and dreaming boldly!
