We celebrated by not damaging the trail. The stroll, hike, and run moved to the paved trail and the mountain bike ride was cancelled.

Big "thank you" to Paul and Paul from CITA for speaking about the history of CITA and about how the trails are protected and maintained. And to Pam from Capital Striders Turkeys for explaining what the Turkeys are and how we can get involved in trail running.

biked all of the 5K-hike route yesterday, plus trails likely to be used by the trail runners and mountain bikers. Things are looking good!

National Trails Day is one week away—Saturday, June 6. Join us and choose between a 1-mile stroll, a 5K hike, a trail run, or a mountain bike ride.

Let’s celebrate our trails, build community, and leave the trail better than we found it.

The June 2026 Movement Snack Spotlight is…

Swing on the Swingset. Play on the Playground.

Whether you are taking kids to the playground or just driving by, stop and swing on the swingset. It’s fun! While you are there play on the playground.

Every month, I have a new movement snack suggestion for you. You can do just the current one or mix and match your favorites.

You can read the Movement Snack Spotlight article on my website to catch all the monthly snacks.

Comment to let me know which snack is your favorite so far. Let me know where your favorite swingset is!

Now, go play! Check back each month for another idea.

At the third class of the spring series of Curious Movement and Balance Class we played Ministry of Silly Walks. I wish I had videoed the walks, but maybe the participants are glad I didn't! lol

Next week, join us as we "get down, get down," "get up offa that thing," and debate whether "it's so easy to fall in love." 🎶

Ministry of Silly Walks is the inspiration for tomorrow's Curious Movement and Balance class!

After some warmup drills, we will have some very silly fun! We will leave time for some fun on the wooden play structure, before we finish with breathing and stretching. Are you curious?

Strut, wobble, and march with purpose! The Ministry of Silly Walks ...

It was nice and shady in the woods, and there was only the sound of us and the birds. Eagle-eye Dave saw spiders, deer, and more. Thank you for coming. See you June 6th at National Trails Day at Sycamore!
