More Summer play + P.E.

 Sophia driving her horse and buggy, with cute little cat down below on her phone.

 It actually worked down the hall, and since the walls are already beat up pretty well I 'let it go', but really Sophia was a good driver.

Something that has lacked in my Home school repertoire of subjects is consistent fitness/exercise/expounding of energy in an organized way. AKA: P.E. Yes, our kids run and play like the rest, but we have goals of something more. David took this on himself this summer and about 3-4 times a week has spent anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour in various training/fun things. Sometimes this happens right after dinner, sometimes it happens at the pool. 

Here, they are doing their strength routine inside:  
 Squats, notice Gabrielle scooting through Sophia's legs.

 Gabrielle moved on to book reading, while the others practice 'planks'
 This is a plank with a hand clap
They have had a lot of fun, we are also working on endurance in jogging. 
They hope to run a 3k this winter. We shall see....
