Daddy Workouts

     The ward (two wards actually) made Clint the new 11-year-old scout leader, just in time for Talmage to begin scouts. It's a good thing because if you know Clint, you know that when it comes to scouts he does it the right way, 100%, as Boy Scouts of America intended it. And let me tell you, those boys are getting a fantastic experience. It's also a good thing that Clint is his leader because Talmage was getting to where he didn't want to attend scouts at all. It's very difficult for him to join in and participate in group activities. The first week the boys did a physical fitness challenge. Being that was at 7 p.m., Tal was not medicated and refused to even try (since then we've given Tal a half dose of his meds before meetings and he's done beautifully). So, we had to schedule a make up the first Saturday morning Clint was not drilling. He put the three older boys through the fitness challenge. They did pull-ups (thank you to whoever installed that bar in our basement)...

Navy-style sit-ups. No whimpy curl-ups, here.

     And push-ups. These the boys have been doing for years. Push-ups are Clint's version of time out. And no, this actually doesn't come from the Navy, but from our fitness fanatic cousin, Adam Legas.

     After the plyometrics, the boys hopped on their bikes and rode to the school where they did a timed run on the track. Now we just have to keep doing this so we can see some improvements on the boys baseline results.
