COT:
WARMUP: SSH (of course/, seal jacks, mtn climber, Peter Parker, Parker Peter, Windmill, mosey to Lowes
THE THANG: After a wandering mosey through Lowe’s Mulch Maze (think corn maze) without getting lost, we took advantage of a long tunnel of mulch for most of the rest of the way, relaying in two teams while mixing in all sorts of exercises and modes of transport. We transitioned to the end of strip center where Cindy was waiting our arrival for some People’s chair while passing Cindy along and back.
The relay theme was relevant to D2D on Saturday as well as the generational relay we all live within — things we picked up from prior generations of family and things we pass on to future generations. Pax swapped perspectives on their experiences. What have you inherited? What are you passing on?
