While I've seen, and enjoyed, the mini version of Stroller Strides that my daughter has often displayed around the house using her stroller, a baby and a scarf it cracked me up the other day to see both kids conducting a modified version of Stroller Strides in the backyard. Dylan, my daughter, had on her visor and was teaching Quinn, my son. They both had baby doll strollers with a baby or stuffed animal tucked inside. One of them had gone into my office and swiped a pair of exercise tubes to use - each having their own stuffed inside their stroller.
I noticed it was strangely quiet inside so I looked outside to see them doing maniacs (running in place). I discreetly opened the door so that I could hear what was going on without them noticing me. Pretty soon Dylan was leading Quinn in a lunge walk over to the next station - the fence! They parked their strollers facing the fence and got into wall sit position. Then, they even began to sing, "If You're Happy & You Know It"! Too, too cute! Pretty soon they moved on to the next station and did other moves, all the while Dylan was giving Quinn instruction on proper form! This all went on for 15 more minutes. How great it was to see them playing 'exercise'!
