Fitness Frankie and Exercise Ernie Visit the "Walkway Over the Hudson"!

Hi everyone,

Exercise Ernie and I had an amazing adventure this week! Mrs. R. took us along on a field trip with the fifth grade boys and girls and their teachers! We went to the Walkway Over the Hudson. This is a walking trail that goes over the Hudson River! It was very high in the air!
We learned that it is 212 feet high! Exercise Ernie and I were a little worried, but everyone took great care of us! As a matter of fact, they always do! This walkway used to be a bridge for trains, and it was made into a walkway for everyone! We had a great time! We learned so much about the history of the bridge and the Hudson River! All of the boys and girls shared pedometers and they recorded how many steps it took to walk across and back. It was over two miles! We were pretty tired when we got back to the bus, but Mr. P, Mrs. L., and Mrs. M., had apples for us to snack on! Not only were the apples healthy, but they were yummy too! When we got back to school, Mrs. R. delivered us to Mrs. S's, and Mrs. B's class where we will spend our week. It's just one great adventure here after another! We LOVE Healthy Highway!









Love, Fitness Frankie and Exercise Ernie
