26 Things #9 - Bottoms Up and #24 - Geometric

I managed to kill two proverbial birds with one stone today. Well, with one Girl Scout meeting, anyway. Erin's troop did a field trip today to a local gym to complete a badge on fitness. They got to work with a trainer who explained what they do at the gym, the importance of working out, proper ways to warm up, stretch, exercise, and cool down, and most important, have fun while doing it. (Wait a minute... Exercise is supposed to be fun???)  The girls had a blast. They stretched, bent, push, pulled, and ran, and in the end were all smiles. And while they did that, I managed to capture two of my 26 things!

First up is Bottoms Up.

Yes, that's Erin, and from the looks of things, she was taking this very seriously. When the trainer first had the girls get into this position, I was sure he'd tell them to put their butts down, but no, he actually wanted them up, and for the girls to be on their toes. I'm not sure I could have held the pose as long as they did!

And next, Geometric.

As soon as I saw the medicine balls lined up so perfectly, and the lines from the tile crossing them like that, I knew I had #24 in the bag.
