Bleacher Training

Carol took vacation this week. The boys and I got up early and headed to the Christian Life Center to exercise. We would have preferred to visit the park, but it was another rainy spring day. Once in the gymnasium, the boys weren’t particularly interested in basketball. What fascinated them were the bleachers. As long as they were exercising, it didn’t really matter what game they were playing. At first they climbed on, over and under the aluminum fixtures, and then Benji asked for their steamer trains. Once they had their Geo-Trax in hand, our little engineers go to work. Each train traveled along a long bleacher seat from end to end some 60 feet, and then climbed up a row, reversed course and then traveled the long route again. Back and forth, up and down the bleacher rows they railroaded for almost an hour.
