EXPERIENCE So, how do our kids feel? Here are their responses to questions we asked them about growing up so close to extended family: QUESTION #1: WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT LIVING WHERE WE LIVE? BRAHM, 8: “I always have someone to play with me and there’s always something cool to do. Papaw works outside and wants me to work with him, Uncle Cole lets me ride four wheelers and dirt bikes, and Ryder (his cousin) will play in the mud anytime you will let us. And Nanny has a LOT of snacks.” MOLLY, 11: “I’m so glad we live where we live because I feel like it’s the safest place on earth. Everyone who lives here loves each other, and everyone would protect us no matter what. There’s always someone around to know we’re safe and also to help us with stuff.” ELI, 14: “It’s never boring here. We always have cousins to play with, friends visiting, people working on something or doing something outside. I love the family meals and the holidays and get-togethers. I love that I get to see my grandparents, aunt and uncle and cousins every day. Most people I know don’t get to do that. I know I’m lucky.” SYDNEY, 16: “I just like having everyone around. It feels great knowing I have so much family surrounding me all the time. Everyone takes care of each other here and I know there’s someone to help me if I ever need it. This is a perfect place to grow up.” QUESTION #2: IS THERE ANYTHING YOU DON’T LIKE? SYDNEY “I guess if you want privacy, this isn’t a great place to get it.” ELI “Sometimes, there’s an awful lot of people to lecture me.” A Better Approach to Fitness MOLLY “If I get in trouble around here, everyone seems to know about it.” BRAHM “Nothing. I really love it all.” CALL TO SCHEDULE A FREE INTRO SESSION 322 Mount Tabor Rd, New Albany www.4bfit.com | 502.509.3801
