Stay Active

While we had more than our fair share of ice cream while on vacation, it was definitely an active one.
Here we are hiking in the Texas Hill Country. Our guest blogger is in the foreground wearing pink and yellow.

Today I bring you my first ever guest post. I've never hosted a guest blogger before, but I just got back from a week's vacation and this is too good not to publish. OK, if you must know, this post was written by my daughter, Kendall. But what is a blog if not a showcase for our children? You probably can tell I'm very proud, but--and here's true insight into the kind of mother I really am--the first thing I said when she showed me her masterpiece was: Did you copy this from somewhere? And when she said no--now I'm really feeling ashamed--I looked at her sister for confirmation and to verify its originality. I suck.

Perhaps I live close enough to Lake Wobegon that I can claim my children are above average.

Not only is this original material, but--scouts honor--I had no part in suggesting the theme or subject matter. I love that her message was all hers. Never mind it came on a day she consumed donuts, popsicles, ice cream and smores. Vacation, remember?

Without further ado, here's today's Guest Post (original spelling included):

Stay Active 

To help your body stay active you should exersize, eat heathy and play sports. Don't just sit in front of the T.V. Get up an move. Sports is one way to get started. Every sport you play is one way to live great. No more junk food. You should start eating healthy. Eating fruit and vegetables will help you a lot. To exersice you can run, swim, bike, jump and play. All you have to do is get up and move and stay active.

Well, this mom has been inspired to stay active. I hope she did the same for you!
