Thanks for joining me!

Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton

• When: Tuesday, 18DEC2018
• QIC: SugarPants
• PAX: Pew, Sludge, Moist, Buckner, and SugarPants

Conditions: 41 and Clear

The PAX gathered in the GLOOM  and enjoyed Def Leppard’s ‘Pour Some Sugar On Me’ while waiting for the VQ to the party started.  Unknowingly, the PAX had volunteered to be the Batter for F3 Mobile’s first batch of Sugar Cookies from YHC.  Thus, the baking began.

The Thang:

A quick WarmUP to get the blood pumping and collect our ingredients for the Cookies.

• Squats X 24 OYO
• SSH X 24 IC

Mosey around the block then to center field

COP to start mixing all the ingredients for the Perfect Sugar Cookie

• TTT x 24IC
• FK x 24IC
• WideMerkins X 5IC
• IW x 24IC

With the ingredients mixed together, it was time to mosey over to the benches where we would scoop our Batter into the Baking Pan

• AIKEN LEGS:
  • Squats x 24 OYO
  • Box Jumps x 24 OYO
• Lunges x 24 OYO
• Split Jacks x 24 OYO

Rinse and Repeat: We found that there was still room on the Baking Pan, so we filled it up with Round 2

With the Baking Pan filled with our delicious Batter, we moseyed over to the WALL to put these little cookies-to-be in the oven.

• Crazy Indian x 24 count

The Q noticed that the PAX especially enjoyed this.  With the Sugar Cookies in the oven it was time to mosey back to the park and turn up the heat.

• 4 Corners
  • #1 – 4x4s x 24
    • Mosey
  • #2 – Boxcutters x 24
    • Mosey
  • #3 – Dips x 24
    • Mosey
  • #4 – Monkey Humpers x 24 (YHC particularly liked this corner as the VQ was properly initiated)
    • bearcrawl to flag

When the PAX reached the shovel flag they found that the sugar cookies had finished baking.  To enjoy their great success they plopped down on their 6 and stargazed while #Buckner gave a slow 30count.

As the PAX emerged to a stormy, soggy Atlantis, bearing its rightful name, an FNG was discovered in the tree line waiting for betterment.  YHC successfully navigated the FNG to the AO after a few inquiries by email about who we are and if the weather would close down the Atlantis.  The conversation was fun.
