The countdown is almost done...

It's nice to know that I am going to be done with my senior project when school starts.  That fact is going to make my life so much better and easier, when the time comes.  So, anyways, on to what matters most.  The talk about what I had the kdis do today.  Today for running the kids had to run around the gym three times.  I try to make running less boring by doing all sort of kinds of running.  Of course, the next thing we did was stretch.  Like normal, that is what we always do after we fun.  After the running to day I had the kids to an obstacle course.  I had six different stations (I suppose you could came them that) that the kids had to go to.  First they had to jump down the tumble track, and then jump into the pit and crawl to the wall.  Then they had to jump over a row of mats I place on the floor.  After that they had to try and roll down and mat and then back up another mat.  Once they completed that they had to jump over an octagon, and then work on balance by walking across the low beam.  Lastly, they had to run back to the tumble track.  I had them complete the obstacle course as a race, and they really enjoyed the "competition".  The game was played a few times and then they continued working on their fitness things.  They are getting better at it every day.  Elimination is the name of the game we then played.  It is a game played with two balls, and it kind of reminds me of dodge ball a little bit.  Either way you have to try not to get hit by the ball, if you do you're out.  Once all that was said and done we had watermelon as a snack, they all really enjoyed that.

Lesson I learned today: Kids will follow what older people do because it seems that the older you are the cooler things are.  Frankly, I think little kids need to do what they think is right, not what others are doi
