SCary’s most problematic AO is back, and this time with record numbers! The dads jumped out to an early 4-1 lead, supported by the finesse of FNG dad VO5 (The Super’s BIL) who put up an early hat trick. The kids came back with a vengeance, tying up the match and then it was a close match the rest of the way. Sherpa’s 2.0 Hat Trick reminded us of our superb footwork and scoring abilities.
VO5’s 2.0 Rocket showed us his rocket of a foot. Grisham was full of energy and played most of the time with a 2.0 on his shoulders…taking rucking to a new level. Future F3 leader and kid veteran Four-Seam made some incredible saves in goal. Sbarro was a stonewall as usual. Water Wings and YHC showed off some fancy header “skills”. The Super found the back of the net in his SCary Dads soccer debut. Well Done saved our butts on defense more than once. Little FNG Yoshi showed no fear. George family 2.X’s Seadoo and Snorkel kept the kids’ offense moving. Kiffin wore his fancy glasses. The Mayflower girls might be on their way to playing for Barcelona. Somehow we ended up with 2 FIFA’s. Amazingly, no injuries. Happy Birthday to FIFA (Well Done’s 2.0), The Super, and Mayflower. Great time today! Looking forward to the next one.

The dads showed no mercy this time and prevailed 11-10 for their first win of the season. Standout performances by Adjacent and his aptly-named 2.0 Manchester. A nice spread of assorted doughnuts and Gatorade provided by the Sbarro family.

We started at 8:02. If you are a parent you understand why.

Discussed the mission of F3 for our friend Lumberg who joined us for the first time in a decade (did F3 in South Carolina years ago).

Pledged our allegiance to 2.0 Manchester who wore the colors of the flag since the Q (fourseam) and YHC didn’t have one. Kids got a kick out of it, apologies to the school teachers on Tuesday if the trend takes off.

Rapidly departed to a side parking lot for boys vs girls relay races. Boys took 1st in sprints and backward running.

Returned to the basketball court for wheel of pain driven family feud style 11’s. Read on for the instructions then you try and successfully explain it to children. Best of luck.

2 teams (boys vs girls) all stand outside of the basketball court in a line.

One participant from each team enters the center of the court, one person spins the wheel of pain.

On the other side of the court opposite of the teams there is a football and basketball

Whatever it lands on ALL participants do the exercise but whoever finishes first between the two people inside the court races to a ball and must complete a successful pass to their team. Whoever does this first gets a point.

Directions took a long time, needed tweaking but we had fun. Girls ended up winning 11-10. Wheel of pain seems to prefer certain workouts. Overrides took place.

We finished with a quick mosy, then COT, snacks and a kids bop dance party much to the irritation of the woman who parked in between all of our cars.

Great to get out with the kids and have some fun. MIAGD

23 total F3 Dad’s and their 2.0s enjoyed a lovely first taste of fall weather and extended the no injury streak at South Cary’s most dangerous AO to 2.

The activities kicked off with the pledge of allegiance followed by a full speed mosey to the warm up spot. Good mornings, merkins, squats, side straddle hops, and lunges got everyone ready for the fun to come.

A mosey to the basketball court was followed by several balloon themed relay races and a couple animal relay races.

After that it was off to the baseball field for jump the creek and cross the ocean.

The Dad’s and 2.0s returned to the flag and welcomed two FNGs.

This morning’s animal-themed workout started with a review of the 3 F’s, then Armstrong led us in the pledge, then Spirit led us in a full speed warmup lap around the parking lot. Warmups consisted of various animal poses led by Spirit and a few called by fellow PAX.

We ran to another parking lot to do a variety of animal-themed relay races. The boys won 2 races, the girls won 1 race, and the dads won 1. The dads will need to train for next time.

Then we played kids vs dads capture the flag it was fun at first but didn’t end well….

SCary’s most dangerous AO claimed another victim and this time it was YHC…after a swift and heroic move capturing the flag, my getaway was foiled as I promptly slipped on the concrete and scraped up both my knees and dislocated my finger.

Special thanks to Jigglypuff and Sbarro for stepping in to help finish the last few minutes as YHC was bloody and somewhat disabled.

We finished with animal crackers (of course) and Gatorade. YHC was a bit disillusioned and forgot I had a whole carafe of coffee in the truck. Maybe I’ll save it for next month, LOL

14 swarmed Ritter Park for a mile+ of shenanigans including warmups on the bball court, kid lifts in the shelter, a loop of backwards run, bear crawls, and bunny hops, then the ME.

The thang – the GARAGE SALE. We brought a bin full of treasures and split into three teams. Each team needed to collect one of each type of treasure and bring them back to their cone. In order to get to the bin, you had to backward run, bunny hop, or bear crawl, and to procure an item, you owed 5 of your favorite exercise. The garage sale administrator is flush with Side Straddle Hops in case anyone is in the market.

Mosquitos chased us from that spot prematurely, so we recollected on the basketball court for CHAOS MODE soccer. Two teams, three balls. Only minor injuries sustained.

COT on the bball court where we named Feeny’s 2.0s – Futbol Boy and CR7! Theme was strong today. MIAGS and MIAGW. Great to be encouraged by you dads this AM, grateful for your examples!!

Big Rivalry coming up between the Chiefs & Ravens, oops Eagles. Started with the rules & pledge, all flawlessly executed. Followed by child & truck (parked) collision (ouch!) Thang 1 was the football basics running & passing. Thang 2 a little green light / red light with burpees as penalties. Thang 3 move to variation of sharks & minnows –>Chiefs & Ravens/Eagles. Last was pearls on a string kids choice of exercises.

Overall successful day, over a mile was covered. Honor to lead. Only minimal talking back to the Q from Augmenteds daughter.

Prayers for Dinosaur Roar. Prayers for all the moms. Verse of the day by Judge –> I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13

YHC did his best to keep order and the kids warm while we traveled around the paths at Ritter park. My son also brought a whistle.. you can imagine how that went.

We did 6’s (6 squats) and 10’s (10 jumping jacks) at the baseball field bases, obstacle course work and ran to the tunnel to squat jump and touch the beams above and finished off with some old fashioned merkins weighed down by the 2.0’s.

COT included Gatorade and checking out Francois ride.

Welcome to 3 new FNG’s of the Wings clan and prayers to family members that are struggling with health, traveling for the betterment of our nation and others around the world, and those unspoken prayers.

A group of 17 Pax consisting of 12 kids and 5 questionable adults had a great time at Ritter this morning. Started with talking about F3 creating leaders and went over what the 3 F’s stand for. Then Armstrong led us in the pledge followed by a few fast loops around the parking lot island. Q-drenaline was high.

Armstrong led us in warmups through various exercises including SSH’s where the Pax showed some impressive cadence counting skills. Warmups continued with Armstrong leading sets of squats, merkins, and sit ups, and YHC led some various stretches.

Thang 1 was a relay race between 3 teams where team members did SSH’s while waiting for the runners to return.

We then headed to the playground where the dads got a bit of a workout performing sets of merkins with the kids sitting on their backs. Then the kids tried to lift the dads’ arms and legs, and we also discovered how many kids it takes to lift YHC completely off the ground. The dads helped the kids do some pull-ups before a quick water/Gatorade break.

The second half consisted of various soccer drills where every kid got a chance to score goals and then some kids elected to play a scrimmage while others preferred to play a little catch me if you can with some dads. A deer came to say hello at close range.

After an extended COT where we named 5 FNG’s, we prayed and expressed gratitude and some kids shared things they were grateful for. Then Snip handed out packs of Pokémon cards which were a huge hit. Rocket Torpedo remembered what the 3 F’s stood for and won an F3 sticker. Thankful for this group and the time we share together. MIAGD.

Great time today! We started with the mission and pledged allegiance to an imaginary flag in the sky, followed by a loop around the parking lot and circled up for a few warmup exercises (SSH, merkins, LBC’s). Then we went over to the baseball field, where we did a few laps around the bases and did a set of exercises (squats, rocket jumps, bonnie blairs) each time we got to home plate, and then some more exercises in the outfield. We learned about picking up the six, which did not quite go as expected when the six turned around and ran away from the oncoming crowd. Then we did some pearls on a string along the Swift Creek Greenway (which of course included burpees as requested by the PAX ) until we reached the bridge at Kildaire Farm Road. We practiced yelling under the bridge, and proceeded to do 3 sets of exercises while yelling the counts as loud as we could. Then we ran back to the playground and did an obstacle course and some dad-assisted pull-ups. Gatorade was enjoyed by all. Welcome FNG’s Dinosaur Roar, Butterfly, and Everest! Prayers for all the kids returning to school soon, and a few who are starting at new schools. Time well-spent on a Saturday morning.
