Jason bought a speed bag and Doug and Matthew installed it last night.  Then they began their workout.  (Don't worry Rocky your film fame is safe in Vernon, New York).

Here's Mary-Kate trying her hand on the big bag.  She barely got it to move.  But practice should change that.  Then Matthew tried his hand with the bag.  He has difficulty keeping it from hitting him in the face on the back swing.  But he'll look really cool with two black eyes.

Your father shows "great" enthusiasm when he hits it.  He has no need for that kind of workout.  Many years of hard work have built muscle and hardness into those hands and arms.  Those are real muscles not the fake kind that come in a gym.

Jason is serious about this workout.  But there is always Matthew to keep him from getting too serious.  A little friendly ribbing never hurt anyone. 

The jump roping gig was the best one.  Here's Matthew trying to jump with barn boots on.  Too bad the picture can't also show a total lack of coordination.  I chose not to post pictures of Daddy jumping.  That would have been too much.
