Healthy Family night

Last night was Healthy Family Night at Southwest School. The event was sponsored by the Southwest PTA.

I helped with the event and set up a "wellness station" called "Calories Count!"

Nate helped me a lot. First we went to the gas station and looked for the most unhealthy foods we could find. (note: the Little Debbie Cosmic Brownies...yowza). Then he helped me set up for the event.

We had a table with bowls of different foods, each containing 100 calories.

Then we had a set of folder games where kids and parents could guess how long it takes to burn 100 calories doing their favorite exercises.

Nate was an awesome assistant!
