Talked about yesterday’s TN House vote on the governor’s school voucher program and the impact it’s having on Rep. Zachary.   Used this scenario as a reminder to the PAX of the importance of the decisions we make and the impact they have on our surroundings.

Shooter and Wagon Wheel somehow managed to break 2 jump ropes today…clearly millennials struggle in this area.  Shooter eventually resorted to air jumping, with fancy tricks!
