Beatboxing Fun with Radio Disney

This morning we went with my neighbor and the other kids from our Virtues class up to Blackhawk Plaza for their free weekly Camp Blackhawk with Radio Disney.

First we got free fruit snacks from Funky Monkey...


The kids weren't huge fans of the snacks... so we fed them to the ducks and hoped that we didn't do any damage. Last thing we wanted to do was kill all of the ducks.


Next we did a little dancing to Radio Disney tunes.

Andrew with one of his best little buddies.
So glad she lives next door!


Then the fitness instructor from CRUNCH came and warmed the kids up and did some exercises with them. I was impressed that Andrew actually did some of the exercises- must be all those workout videos we've been doing lately :)

Arm circles


Running in place


Stretching with the boys from Virtues class (there are only 3)


Jumping jacks!




Reaching for the sky!


Squats (I think this one is so darling)




Lunges!


High knees



When little man got bored (bc they tended to repeated the workout for longer than his attention span could handle), we went to the playground. I turned around for one second, lost him, and this was where I found him two seconds later.


What do you mean I'm not supposed to be up here?


The fountains at Blackhawk Plaza are beautiful and so fun to splash in. I need to take Andrew up there more often!


After the workout with Crunch, we met DC Beatbox from the Disney Channel's show Choo Choo Soul. He got us all primed to learn how to break dance.

Started off with a little stretching


and arm hugging/swinging...


and then he taught the kids some of his moves.

Andrew weaseled himself right to the front.


Little man was in awe of these cool moves



But took a few breaks from break dancing to run around some poles


He really wanted a turn to break dance in front of everyone... but wasn't picked :) Kept saying, "my turn?"


After dancing, we learned how to beatbox. Kevin can do some of this vocal percussion too... so Andrew loved it!




After almost two hours of fun, we hunted for the baby ducklings in the fountains and then finally went home for lunch!


I am exhausted! Andrew is of course, NOT... and is running around our backyard playing soccer and t-ball.
