Dinosaur Roar exacted his revenge on the PAX today after last month’s detour to the urgent care, and along with co-Q Beans delivered a “Kids vs. Dads”-themed beatdown that proved an instant classic. Push-up Tag, Trivia/Category Relay Races, and a particularly risky round of Capture the Flag highlighted the day’s events. In an effort to stay on-brand, Dinosaur Roar came home with a pretty sizable strawberry on his knee, but formal medical care was avoided and the Smith family deductible lives to see another day.
My 2.0s had been looking forward to this for weeks, and I am grateful to each of you who came and made it awesome. Also very thankful for these leadership opportunities for the 2.0s. They’ll be ready for the next Form Week in no time. MIAGD!

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.
