This week whilst Daddy was working, the kids and I escaped to see Nanny and once the storm had passed we were keen to get outside and run some energy off. Who better to help us than Nanny's dog Archie?
We all headed to the local park together and enjoyed playing ball with him and chasing each other. It really is the simple things that provide the most fun at times. JJ wanted to stay home with his iPad and play some games as we had been out shopping most of the day but I'm so glad I put my foot down and told him he had to come with us as he really enjoyed himself once out.
This the last post in my series posted as part of the Mark Warner Family Active challenge. They asked us to get active as a family for at least 4 hours in October. I can confirm that we have probably had at least 2-6 hours active as a family every week in October and much of that is thanks to Mark Warner and their prompt. It is fairly easy to get younger children moving but the key I think, is in the adults setting the example and this is where we have a made a real effort this month.
- First we all played basketball together
- Then we barn danced the night away, what a blast that was
- Next the girls and I went out on a wet woodland walk
- Last week I shared with you some of favourite our 'all family' activities such as beach walks and giant hula hooping
- Then this week it is the dog walking. I'm sure you'll agree we have made the most of the October family active challenge!
Have you had a good week, how have you managed to get active this week?
