77 Dads and their 2.0’s took to the fields of Walter Elisha Park to spend some quality time with each other.  We split into two groups and Anchorman and Sir Topham Hat corralled the younger 2.0’s and YHC led the “Big Kids” to the soccer field.

The Thang:

Young ‘ens
Circle Up – SSH – Froggy Squats – Merkins w/2.0’s on back – Goofballs

Sprints – Dads vs 2.0’s. – Dads start furthest from finish line.  Kids start halfway to finish line.  If dads catch kids before they cross the 2.0 does 5 merkins.  If dads don’t catch, dads do 5 burpees. Rinse and Repeat.

Water Break

Jacobs Ladder – Partner with 2.0.  Run to the tree and do 5 merkins while dad planks.  When they get back, dads runs and does 5 diamond merkins while 2.0 planks.  When dads get back, kids run and do 4,3,2,1 – Dads number goes up – 6,7,8,9

Moleskin:

Last Saturday, YHC was driving through my hometown of Louisville, KY with my 2.1.  We happened to drive past a middle school where my father would to track work.  I don’t remember the specifics, but 35 years later I still remember the time I spent with him.  Watching him run, trying to catch him on the track, and wondering when I’ll get to come back with him.

That’s what each Saturday in June is about.  An opportunity to make memories and cherish the time together. It is unlikely that our kids will remember many of the specifics, but they will remember the time that we spent with them.  Let’s continue to build these memories.
