Does 4 make a Pile?

Two HIM’s each brought a couple 2.0’s for the first PuppyPile of 2021. While our numbers were few, our enthusiasm was mighty, and great fitness, fellowship, and faith was enjoyed by all. 

The THANG:

COP #1:

• Mosey to the BBall Court and Circle Up
• Welcome & F3 Disclaimer
• ANIMAL WARMERAMA:
• Kangaroo Side-Straddle Hops x10 IC
• Flamingo Lunge until Q calls
• Butterfly Quixotes x10 IC
• Bunny Hop until Q call
• Dancing Bears x10 IC
• Bear Crawl until Q calls
• Crabcakes x10 IC
• Crab Walk until Q calls
• Starfish Crunches x10 IC
• Gorrilla Shuffle until Q calls

COP #2:

• Mosey out to the Field
• FOLLOW THE LEADER:
• Leader chooses whatever moving activity and direction desired, followed by all PAX enacting the same

COP #3:

• DR TRYHARD SAYS:
• Like Simon Says but with exercises
• Each PAX takes a turn leading

COP #4:

• MERKIN MERKIN BURPEE:
• Circle up like Duck Duck Goose, but all hold Plank in circle while one walks around, each performs a Merkin when tapped, then the one designated “Burpee” jumps up to give chase

COP #5:

• SNAKEPIT:
• The Dad’s bearcrawl chasing kids (ouch)

COP #6:

• RED LIGHT, GREEN LIGHT:
• When DTH turns his back and calls GREEN light, PAX runs towards him
• When DTH turns back towards the PAX and says RED light, they must freeze
• First one to reach DTH wins

COP #7:

• Mosey back to the Playground
• TRIPLE CHECK (more like a Single or Double Check as children were melting down…)
• P1 – Incline Merkins
• P2 – Squats
• P3 – Runs up the playground ramp, slides down, and returns to switch

COT:

• Counterama # 6
• Namerama
• Announcerama (see Comments)

NMS:

• The clock struck 0700 and Oreo was looking up at DTH with her great big eyes on the verge of tears, asking where all the other kids were… Well, YHC was about to sit her down to share the hard truth that a Q never knows who, if any, brothers might post… when Boberry and his boys pulled in the save the day. The Q adjusted the planned routine to bring in a few fun games for a smaller PAX, and YHC looks forward to sharing these genius games at an adult level of pain…especially Merkin Merkin Burpee, which may well be the new Ring of Fire. Anyway, YHC’s son, Solomon, kept up for the first time today and earned the F3 nickname “BANJO” from his older sister Penniella (Oreo)… with absolutely ZERO relevance as to why or how he’s in some way related to a banjo. Oh well, isn’t that how most of our names happen? YHC looks forward to gathering a larger crowd for future PuppyPile’s this season. May well give the Sat AM post-Dogpile version a try for June.
