F3 Dads February Blocks, Animals and Dodgeball

   MOLESKIN

·         When Turnpike approached YHC to Q F3 Dads, admittedly it made me more nervous than Q’ing a mob of 30+ Pax with all their mumblechatter.  Again, I was humbled by the turnout of Dads and kids that would rise early on a dark, chilly Saturday morning and trust YHC to lead them.

·         T-claps also to Turnpike for bringing the additional props for dodgeball and capturing action shots on camera.

·         Hope the kids had fun with trivia and appreciate that their collective intellect kept the Dads from doing any burpees.

·         YHC may not know much, but he knows that the way to keep kids happy is to bring the donuts.

·         Foosball likes her some Dunkin Donuts. And, she was able to pull out a few for her big sister, too.

·          Continued prayers for Schneider’s family. Sweet Caroline has a sign-up genius to assist the family with meals over the coming weeks.

·         Support the upcoming Operation Sweet Tooth run on March 30th.

·         Thanks Blackbeard for the privilege of leading at this AO for the F3 Dads format. YHC will be back in running shape soon and ready to a Q with the Pax.

Aye.
