Sports Works

Now it's motion photos from last Friday's trip to the Sports section of the Science museum. Mommy was completing our taxes so I took the kids out for the afternoon. The weather had been terrible for over a week so we all needed to work off some energy. For all of these reasons, the Sports Works was a much better choice than the science museum. It was almost empty to boot.

Here's Janine in the top photo on the trampoline trapeze. All three of them got on it at one time or another. It's quite a contraption, a large trampoline with a harness structure on each side. This structure holds the bungee cords that the attendants choose carefully to match the child's weight, or at least they want the watching parents to think so. As you can see that harness means business.

In the second photo Sarah and Janine are running a race against a video of Jackie Joyner- Kersee. Gosh, Jackie seems to win every time! Actually she give a lesson on how to get out of the starting blocks properly and which leg to use to push off to get a fast start. The girls ran this one about twice and got tired of it. John watched Jackie a couple of times then ran several times throughout the afternoon.

It was great to work off the extra energy and thankfully Mommy was done with taxes when we got home.
