The PAX gathered in high anticipation of the second mystery Q of the week. What would the theme be? The tension was in the air. And with that, Bunyan and YHC stepped forward to the song “Here Comes the Sun” (George Harrison, Live in Japan Version). The theme of the day would be SUMMER VACATION. The PAX group realization then set in:

“This is no longer a vacation; it’s a quest!” – Clark Griswold

The story of the Wall family vacation follows. Nothing has been fabricated, hyperbolized, or otherwise exaggerated.

EC: Five ruckers rucked with Sneaky Shoes sneaking in late and stories of child birth.

Warm up:
Minature golf – Windmills x 10
Backstroke – Flutter Kicks x 10
Freestyle – Supermans with a reverse flutter kick x 10
F3 AO visit on vacation (the grunge) – Merkins x 10

The Thang:
Mosey to tennis courts

F3 Surfing – Partner up. Partner 1 bear crawls the tennis court. Each line during crawl is a gnarly wave – pop up to a surfee (modified hand release burpee to a surfing position). Hang 10 and back down to crawl to the next wave. Partner 2 paddles out to the break (superman pose with lateral pullbacks). Switch.
Music: Misserlou, Dick Dale, Pulp Fiction Soundtrack; Surfin USA, The Beach Boys; The Wedge, Dick Dale

Run on the beach – Partner 1 suicide sprint the tennis courts stopping at each sideline. Partner 2 LBCs. Switch.

Mosey to the grassy area (yes, there is a grassy area at the Wall)

Chicken Fight – Keep same partners. Buddy carry race 40 yards. Switch at the end and come back. Waiting PAX do burpees. 2 rounds.
Music: Stuck in the Middle With You, Stealers Wheel

Mosey back to tennis courts

F3 Volleyball (on tennis courts version)
6 v 6. Rules: Volleyball hits. No spikes. PAX must stay on knees, hands, or bums. Movement has to be via a form of crawl (bear, crab). Use the front court lines as the boundaries. Point winner performs one exercise. Loser performs another. Exercises called out at YHC convenience.
Exercises were as follows: Merkins v. LBCs; Carolina Dry Docks v. Peter Parkers; Flutter Kicks v. Mountain climbers

10 burpees OYO

Mosey to the Wall

People’s Beach Chair – Beach chair sit with variations called out by the PAX. 5 count x 34 PAX.

Mary:
Ride the bike – Freddy Mercuries x 20
Kayak – Boat Kayak (Canoe)
Nap on the beach – Crucifix hold
Time on the beach with the M – Sandy Prom Night – Enough said. (we counted, but probably didn’t last as long as it should of)

COT:
Announcements – The Rabbit (unofficial AO) meets Tuesday at the clubhouse (Big House) at 5:45. Churham order link is on Slack. Order by the end of the week. Skynyrd is setting up a channel for work from homers to get together. Next Thursday the 28th there’s an area wide get together. Didn’t get the other details, but Slack DOI or Chatter channels.

BOM – Summertime and vacations are a great time to refocus on family. It’s often easy to get sidetracked with work pressures and all of the other things we sign up for. You only have so many Summer vacations with your kids. Take advantage. It’s a quest.
