Exercise Ernie and I had an unbelievable adventure this week during Jump Rope for Heart at North Park! This is a terrific event where the boys and girls do all kinds of jumping and jumping rope during the entire day! Mrs. R. taught all of us that Jump Rope for Heart helps us to learn how to keep our own hearts healthy and also help others with hearts that might not be as healthy by raising money for the American Heart Association. It is a terrific cause and Exercise Ernie and I were happy to help and so proud to be a part of it! It was Exercise Ernie's first time for Jump Rope for Heart so I showed him the "ropes"! (I can be pretty funny, right????) Anyway, we had a great time and all of the boys and girls and grown-ups at North Park worked very hard! We were so proud when Mrs. C from the American Heart Association brought this year's banner! That's me in the picture checking it out! Exercise Ernie checked his heart rate during the event and we even got to hear our own heart beat using a stethoscope! Eating healthy is important for your heart too so Mrs. R. asked the boys and girls to pretend to feed us by choosing healthy food stickers to put on construction paper cutouts of Exercise Ernie and me! They fed us really healthy foods like fruits and vegetables! Yummy! 
It was a very rewarding day! Mrs. R. said that she was so proud of everyone! THAT made us smile! It's just one great adventure after another here at North Park!
We LOVE Healthy Highway!
Love, Fitness Frankie and Exercise Ernie
