Wipeout!
Last summer the Weddle children were
captivated by the new show American Gladiators. They have lost out some of their
enthusiasm for the show now that they don't show all the events and include more
talking. Also, the new show Wipeout! is just way too awesome.
Every day they beg to play Wipeout. This morning we
did the punching wall, a balance course featuring a dad throwing pillows at them
and our own version of big balls where contestants try to bounce across large
rubber balls to another platform. Hilarity ensues.
Since we don't have any large inflatable balls, we
used couch cushions. The object was jump from the recliner on to the stack of
couch cushions and land on the other couch. Oh the hilarity. Jacob was the
winner, doing it three times to zero times for both his sisters. Only one injury
and in the overall scope of eternity it was quite minor.
Oh yeah, dad tried it once too. Not a good idea.
