Double Dutch

Whoever said jumping rope was not "daring" enough has never tried to jump Double Dutch jump ropes!

This week, we took ourselves outside with four long jump ropes.  First, we practiced jumping in and out of a single rope.  (which takes a lot of practice and timing)  Then, we tried our jumping skills with double ropes.  This is much harder than it looks- and we've got the sweat and rope welts to prove it.  We also learned that being a rope turner takes skill and teamwork, too.
What a thrill it is to try, try, try again until...success!   Take a look at the pictures below to see how much fun it is to challenge ourselves.

I love the look of thrill on Grandma Jill's face when Tyler is successful jumping double ropes for the first time

Everyone has their own style
