Day 4, Play in Central Park

This group keeps getting better and better every day.  I'm so glad you guys are enjoying the experiences Ms. Capers and I are sharing with you.  I'm loving the way you are embracing the fun the green zone has to offer.
The weather was very kind to us today. It didn't rain, and the temperature was tolerable.  We got to Central Park at around 10:40am and waited twenty minutes for Sheep Meadow to open to the public. We got the best spot in the shade.  Yes!  The early bird got the shade.
We divided up into three teams when we started the tournament. We ran conventional relay races for two rounds.


Then we tried something my playful spirit concocted and Ms. Capers cosigned off on.   You no longer had to just run from start to finish then run back to tag the next person in line.  That was too easy.

Now you had to jump over a rope that hung 5 inches above the grass, run to the Twister matt and strike the Yoga pose I was doing.  Then run back, jump over the rope again, and tag the next person in line.  It was hilarious to watch.  I can't believe I got you to do Warrior, Downward Facing Dog, and Tree pose during a race in a public park. You guys are great! Many people stopped to watch the fun because the vibrant energy was contagious.  Ms. Capers captured these priceless moments on her iPad.  Every one was a winner.  (None of you even asked who won by the way.)

Next Stop: Some of you purchased some questionable drinks and snacks at the food cart. (Why would you eat something with ingredients you can't pronounce???  Because of fancy packaging?)
We will talk more about food on Monday.  We are going grocery shopping next week! You will be responsible for purchasing food to create three healthy meals.

Have a great weekend in the green zone! Go play!
