Together Counts! Families Unite to Get Active

"Mom! Can you come outside and play with me?"

Ugh!
Do I have to?
Ask your Dad.
Play by yourself. 
Go. To. Sleep. Pleeeeaaaaase!!!!!

I'm not ashamed to admit that there are days when I make up the lamest excuses about why I can't go outdoors and play. I'll find some clever way to put it off, or, offer a bribe of some sorts to buy enough time to make my son forget what he even requested in the first place.

I know.  
SHAME ON ME.
I should feel really bad about this.
Some days, I do.
Other times, not so much.

Before you get yourself all worked up about how much time we don't spend outdoors playing, let me show you how we really get down.

Sledding

Target Practice

Bike Riding

Washing the Car

Fun with other family members

Even though these are simple activities for a family to complete, it's nice to have some form of motivation and incentive to get active, stay healthy, and play outdoors with your family.

We took the pledge!
