Jonathon's mom had these two wheels at her house that were beside a cement slab, so after asking if we could use them, we brought them home as our first donation to our project. And as you can see they worked perfectly for some fun too. Jonathon had to do some engineering to make this work, but after some pipes here and a pipe there, he did it. And the children were not about to try it, so we had to demonstrate.
And I think we are getting too old for such games. Well, I didn't get hurt, but somebody thought "he" gave himself a hernia or something. : )
And everybody then had to try their hand at running the wheel. What fun and didn't cost us anything and hopefully the childre will have memories of that evening to tell their children. Think of the fun we'd miss out on if we were TV watchers. It's no wonder our nation is so obese. Children lose out on these old time fun and active memories as they are spending their time infront of a box. So sad. We do enjoy a movie here and there, but I believe people spend a majority of their time watching a box that doesn't give back to them in life. And think of how much money people spend on this entertainment. Okay, that's my soap box for now. : )
Get up, get out and have some good old fashioned fun. You'll feel more alive, with a wellspring of joy from your heart.
