STILTS- Winter activity for active kids!
Head over to the giveaway page for Crest products.
A few nights ago for Pack meeting, my husband acquired about 20, #10 cans from the cannery and had the boys make stilts. Erica, in all her jealousy really wanted to recreate the activity at home. Except we didn’t have any more #10 cans. So creatively, she put together a plan.
She began by announcing everyone needed to help her eat 2 cans of peaches so she could rinse out the cans and use them. She had Wade punch holes in the side with one of those sharp can opener puncture thingy’s. Then she threaded some nylon rope through.
What you could do next: Have a race! (we couldn’t cause we only had one set). My kids in just a matter of a few days completely wear these down. The entire can has collapsed and folded in on itself. But they sure had fun while they lasted!
Later today, an opportunity provided by Crest. I’m interviewing Olympic speed skater, JR Celski. My kids had a few questions about his healthy habits. But I need more! Any of you have questions I could ask him?

I just noticed at the grocery store – “simply go-gurt” with no dyes or HFCS (for the same price as the regular!).
And, have you read “Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature Deficit Disorder”? If not, I recommend it.

I’ve never heard of that book! I’ll definitely check it out. Sounds fascinating.
Exciting about the go-gurt. My kids love that, especially frozen.

question–how many calories do you need to eat a day when you are training?
i love the stilts! i like to give my kids an outdoor game/activity thing in their easter basket every year and i was thinking this year it’d be stilts!
