Planking

This summer, Cristian also got into planking. It’s kind of weird. The goal is to lay face down, expressionless, with your arms and legs straight on any surface or in any public area. Then you take a picture. It’s odd. It’s also strangely liberating because you feel like you’re breaking out of the mold somehow. And I guess it’s relaxing in a yoga-like way. Well, try it if you want. Laugh, if you don’t.

The kids think it’s funny, and I’ve caught Bird multiple times just doing it at weird moments. It took me a while to figure out what he was saying and I thought he needed something, but he was saying, “Planking.”

TORNADO

How many of you have actually seen a funnel cloud forming in your backyard??? Me either. I was teaching a piano lesson or something. But Cristian caught it on video! It’s unbelievable. Even for me. The video doesn’t catch the wind interference, but it was howling. This is a good one. Don’t miss it.
