Rippin’ Up the South Lawn

An interesting wardrobe selection for the big summer kickoff of our  ‘No Fat Child’s Behinds Games’ on the South Lawn. But at least there were no hula hoops or boob belts:

WASHINGTON - MAY 25:  First lady Michelle Obama works out with Washington area students on the South Lawn of the White House on May 25, 2010 in Washington, DC. The first lady kicked of the first in a series of South Lawn summer activities for kids.Walk like a duck, with a kangaroo pouch

I know it looks like we wore our luncheon top with our breakfast workout bottoms, but we were just re-purposing that lovely L’Wren lace sweater and Talbot’s blouse thingy. It really didn’t play as well as we’d hoped the first time around as ‘serious couture.’

But this wasn’t about fashion (obviously). Here are some of the games we came up with to get those fat behinds moving while still having zoodles of fun:
