Birthday Suit Bongos

Ben makes the perfect chair when I want to play a session on my bongo drums.  And he never complains.

Treats and Feats

 Mmm, chocolate.  Hey, sometimes you need a treat after a hard day.

 Look at this beautiful chocolate.

 Grace isn't the only one who had a rough day.

I had to move the Elmo chair all by myself.  The feng shui in our room was all wrong.

It took a lot out of me.

Jungle-Gym Rats

Look at us. We're still working out non-stop.

 Up, down, up, down.  Gotta work the quads.  Wow, this burns.

 I mix it up with some cube crawls, working the arms and the legs.

 Grace flexes her muscles on the climbing wall.

And she takes in the view from the top.  Victory!  She really is in peak physical condition after twelve days of working out.  How are your resolutions "working out"?

Five Days In, Still Active

 Ben and I are really into this fitness thing in the new year.

 We're trying new things, like surfing.  We're not afraid!

 Before we hit the waves, we thought we should practice balancing on the board.

We still need our quiet moments.

Running is always a part of our regimen.

And I got in my signature facial expression for this last photo, post-workout.  Hah!

Resolute

 I've decided to be more active this year.  I started by stepping out on the trails this afternoon.

 I also did some biceps curls.

I challenged Grace to be less sedentary, too. 

 Grace's goals this year are to play soccer and eat candy, so she did a set of stairs to get fit and burn some calories.

Even Farmor and Dave got in a little exercise today, though Farmor absolutely could not keep up with my pace.
