I've been under the weather the past week and I'm ready for my fever to turn into Spring Fever! Don't be fooled--we all know it will get cold one more time before it finally starts to warm up :) By the end of summer, I'm usually tired of hearing weed whackers and lawn mowers all day long, but I'm happy to hear them now because it signals warmer weather and long, sunny summer days! Oh yeah, AND baseball season! But that's another post.
This past weekend I joined my fellow Junior Leaguers for a big event that we put on and I showed up as the photographer! The new members put together an amazing community event called Kids in the Kitchen. It's purpose was to raise community awareness about obesity and there were several physical games and activities going on and there was a mini cooking class for the kids with a professional chef-the thought behind targeting children is that if we can get kids involved, maybe they will encourage their parents to cook more healthy meals and engage in outdoor family activities.
Look at her go! My clumsy self would probably pull a geriatric stunt and break a hip...
Extreme relay races!
What is this little girl holding, you ask? It was a slimy simulation of what 5 pounds of fat looks like in the body. I was really looking forward to having a greasy, gooey grilled cheese sandwich for lunch that day, but begrudgingly ate a salad after seeing this!
Learning culinary skills
Happy Monday!
