Steel Rake + 5lb. Weights =

A WORKOUT "CADE-&-DREW-STYLE". Our boys often see Mike and I working out in the garage...more Mike than me, because I prefer the gym. But, when time doesn't allow for a drive to the gym, I opt for the garage...where there's a will, there's a way, right?

On this particular afternoon, the boys wanted to "workout". Mike is such a FUN & CREATIVE Daddy...much more FUN than Mommy!! He never minds taking the time to "grant the boys their wishes". I guess he remembers what his own wishes were as a young boy, so he "gets" them. They wanted to "workout", but the barbell itself is too heavy for Cade & Drew. So, Daddy comes to the rescue...in a redneck-creative-kinda-way! Mike used a STEEL RAKE ("yikes" was my thought) and put 5 lb. plates on each end of the rake. VOILA!!

Daddy teaching them how it's done, and how to "spot" each other.



Cade "spotting" Drew...



Drew FLEXING...



Drew's turn to spot Cade. I ADORE the look on Drew's face here...he is CLEARLY loving this!



I LOVE the "STRAINED" look on Cade's face...and Drew is not being a very good "spotter"!



There we go...now Drew is doing his job!



And here we see Drew's "STRAINED" face!



This was SO PRECIOUS! It's a foreshadowing of what's to come...I hope so anyhow! I pray that Cade & Drew will have many more "workout sessions" in the garage...before we know it, they will BIG boys doing this very same thing, minus the STEEL RAKE!
