Summer "Studies"

Cade has participated in two fun activities this summer - Kindermusik and Kids Fit Club. I'm glad we have a well-rounded boy! This was his 3rd session of Kindermusik and his first time in the class where the parents are only involved during the last 10 minutes. I was nervous about this "big kid" class, but he thrived in it!

Drum sticks were always a highlight to show off for the parents



One week, we were all challenged to make a homemade drum. Chance got involved in the project, which is why the drum is covered in duct tape. Cade of course picked the color!



Shirley has been a wonderful teacher for Cade since last fall! She will not be the teacher for his class next year, and we will miss her so much!



Cade's other activity was Kids Fit Club at BCS Fitness. This is his favorite activity in the world! He asks almost every day if it is exercise class day. The trainers are creative and energetic, and offer the kids challenging and fun exercises that can pretty easily be replicated at home. We love it! The pictures are kind of blurry because they are always in motion, but hopefully you'll get the general idea.

Plank



Lots of jumping!



They played a fun game where they raced around putting exercise balls on stands



Tire crawl



Hanging on the rings



Waiting his turn



Squats (good form!)



Mid-burpee (these were his favorite exercise... crazy boy!)



Tug-o-war



Each class included a nutrition lesson. Here they were saying foods that they eat that have protein in them.



Jumping through the agility ladder



This is usually what happened after exercise class!



But he always woke up to go eat lunch at Chick Fil A



This was such a fun activity that we have already signed up for the August session. We are so glad that he sees fitness as fun!
