Longtime friends of ours, many years ago, took up the sport of jump rope as a family.

They’ve since moved out of state, but this week drove back to CA to visit family and also host a free one-day jump rope clinic.

We jumped (ha ha) at the opportunity to participate.  Our oldest three got the chance to learn how to jump rope, and we adults got in on the action a wee bit as well.

Here are a few photos from the day:

Afterwards we ventured toward Sacramento, closing with a delicious dinner @ Chick-Fil-A.

After dinner as we exited the restaurant and chatted, the kids made the most of it and ended up jumping rope for almost an hour in the parking lot!  Here is some video footage of their double dutch adventure!
