Mountain Climbers

These Monsons sure are strong!

IMG_6454 (640x427)

Along with Uncle David and Elizabeth, we all participated (in and out) in a family bootcamp hour. Matt and I led the group in a series of exercises with laps around the complex in between (which were .33 miles each)

We did many high knees, butt kicks, grapevines, shuffles, bear walks, crunches, pushups, planks, squats, lunches, dips, jacks, mountain climbers and more. We just kept moving the whole time!

We ended up running a total of about 3 miles in laps too! It was a wonderful morning.

I’m planning to have these two guys for a light lunch to tide me over to the early afternoon reception. I want to be hungry when it’s time to feast!

I got this bar at the veg festival a while ago. Hope it’s good! Also, I don’t like green apples, but that’s all I got.

Goin’ to the chapel!

    Great workout for the fam. Maybe we will incorporate this for Friday a.m. after Thanksgiving. I could get everyone to lead a lap and add their own variety to the fun.

    Can’t wait to see the wedding cake (my favorite part of a wedding) 😀
