Steph and Mickel are the ones that are turning into healthy super-heroes. They have always been active, and have certainly passed that love of all things physical (sports, hiking, skiing, etc., etc.) on to Kaiya and Teague. I have never known a family more on the go than they are! But lately they have added food health to their agenda, and in a big way!
I was thinking of this when I reflected on them inviting me to dinner the Saturday before they left for their latest adventure to the Florida Keys. Steph made quinoa with feta cheese and pine nuts, served on acorn squash, with a salad and blueberries. And that's how they eat almost all the time now - very little meat, and organic as much as is possible. After learning a great deal about very negative things going on with our food supply, they have joined the "March on Monsanto" cause. The March happened during their trip to the Keys. They asked Kaiya and Teague if they would rather go to the march, or go do something else. Kaiya and Teague chose the march, and the whole family made protest signs.
But it's not just the general activity and food awareness ... Steph (especially) and Mickel (more and more lately) have also added competitive endurance sports, such as half-marathons, Ragnar-type of races and triathalons, to their list.
They have a triathalon coming up at the end of June that they're both doing, so Grammie gets to have a long sleepover that weekend!
