We did a full round and repeato.

Next we mosied back to the grass where we did a grizzly bear crawl. We beat crawled across the grass and every time YHC yelled “Grizzly” everyone did a burpee and then back down to bear crawl. We went across then back.

YHC shared a story where spending time with one child made another jealous and we need to make sure to make an effort to spend time with everyone we care about including kids, wives, parents, coworkers, etc.
