Make time to Hula Hoop

Time to create a "fun list".

Yep, a "FUN LIST". It's time to have some good, old fashioned, healthy fun, everyone!

Definition of this would be a list of simple things that create joy in your life, or make you laugh.

Need a suggestion? Check these out.

A couple of weeks ago, I went to Wal-Mart and purchased 2 Adult-sized Hula Hoops, for $5 each. Both are bright in color with a lot of sparkles. I love sparkles.

I brought them home, and a friend of mine came over. I turned on Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie" and the challenge was to Hula Hoop for the entirety of the song, a whole 3 minutes and 38 seconds.

I must say that I had a difficult time getting started, because I was laughing so hard at my friend's attempt to keep the Hoop on his narrow-waisted-hips (hmmm, is that at word?).

Need another idea? Check out the local playground in your neighborhood. Go swing on the swings or slide down the slides. If people look at you with a puzzled face, tell them to join you!

Find the child within. Last week, I watched my 5 year old nephew gather a pile of leaves and jump in them. Just make sure the pile is nice and thick so you don't hit the ground :-).

What is on your fun list????

    I hear ya. Find the inner child. It will
    probably require hanging out with one to help you "find" him or her!

    a few weeks ago, ellie and i played in the leaves in my front yard. It was a cool night
    in late november, I think. She wanted to have a play with baby dolls, so we brought some out. Then she had a idea for a picnic.
    So we had a picnic on a blanket, on a pile of leaves. Then hunkered down with flashlights
    under a blanket on the leaves, till we were too cold and wary of monsters and sounds in the night, and had to go inside.

    ...Found the flashlight the next day. :)
