Speaker 1 (00:31):
Enough about that, let's get too today's super Live Ay
Lewis story. It was a week until Levi and Ivy
would compete in their annual summertime Neighborhood Olympics. They couldn't
have been more excited and couldn't think of anything else
as the special event got closer and closer. It may
have had something to do with all the great games,
(00:52):
fun festivities, and tasty food that made the Neighborhood Olympics
an event to look forward to, but it also had
something to do with Levine and Ivy's excitement over repeating
as Neighborhood Olympic champions. In the obstacle course race. It
was a team event that paired together two kids in
the neighborhood to run, jump, skip, roll, dive in so
much more to make it from one end of the
(01:12):
course to the other in the fastest time. Ivy, I
think you should start the obstacle course again this year,
said Levi as he stretched in the front yard. You're
better at me at the tire swing dive and you
make it across the Huluhu backyard hop.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
In no time.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Thank you, Levi, said Ivy as she adjusted the sweatband
on her forehead. I think we're definitely the perfect team.
I have a great obstacle course skills and so do you.
I mean, there's no kid in the neighborhood better than
you at the monkey bar maze, the bike wheelie.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Raid or the spinning run.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Levi and Ivy high fived each other and continued to
get ready for another workout to get themselves in shape
for the big day. But what they didn't know was
practicing for the Neighborhood obstacle course was not the only
thing they had to do to get in shape. In fact,
they didn't concentrating so much on the race itself that
they were completely forgetting to.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Take care of themselves. Hey, Ivy, can you hand me
a juice box please?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I'm stuper thirsty and we have this long workout ahead
of us, said Levi as he took the juice box
from his sister.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Good point, Levi replied, Ivy, I.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Totally forgot to eat breakfast again, so I definitely need
a little energy before we get started.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
This candy bar should do the trip.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
So as Ivy ate the candy bar and Levi drank
his sugary juice box, something was happening that neither of
them knew about, but would soon have to deal with.
This kind of eating went on four weeks because Levi
and Ivy didn't want to concentrate on anything else but
improving their time on the jump rope, the football toss,
and the wacky walk. These were all parts of the
Neighborhood Olympical Obstacle Course race that they felt they needed
(02:46):
to work on from last year. They made their parents
record the whole race on their phones the year before
so they could download it to their computer and watch
each part over and over, hoping to find out what
they could do better. After we practiced this morning, Can
we watch the obstacle course race video again, asked Levi.
I just want to focus on the rope climb now
(03:06):
and see what we can do to go faster in
that part of the race. Well, I was thinking we'd
work on a few other things during the day because
we'd have plenty of time tonight after dinner to watch
the videos, answered Ivy.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Why don't we do both, said Levi.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Okay, I'm sure we can work in a little screen
time this morning, and if we happened to watch an
episode or two of our favorite show, then that would
be fine too, said Ivy with a smirk. You don't
think we've had too much screen time, do you, Ivy
asked Levi as he finished his juice box. Nope, I
mean most of it is research for the Neighborhood Olympics,
so that doesn't even camp, said Ivy as she finished
(03:44):
her candy bar. Let's get to practicing. I'll time you
first on the hike and hopscotch part.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Of the race.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Ready, set go, We've jumped into action and the rest
of the morning. Can I be prepared for the Neighborhood
Olympics Obstacle course race fueled by only juice boxes and bars,
which they had snuck out of the house without their
parents knowing. After practicing all morning in the hot summer sun,
they unknowingly were getting dehydrated and started to get a headache.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I think we should go in and.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Take a rest, suggested Ivey. Good idea, said Levi. My
head hurts just like it did yesterday. I think I
need another juice box and maybe some pizza. So he
and Ivy headed to their house to have lunch, but
instead of sitting comfortably at their table, resting and talking
to with each other, they grabbed their food, sat in
(04:35):
front of their computer and stared at a screen. They
were watching an episode of one of their favorite shows.
As they ate their lunch and continued to speak junk food. Hi,
Levi and Ivy said their mom as she walked into
the computer room. I feel like I haven't seen you
all morning. How's the obstacle course race practice going? She
(04:55):
stood there in the doorway for a bit, getting no
response from her kids. She called their names again, but
they were so lost in their screen time.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
That they didn't even respond.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Then she decided the only thing that could snap them
out of it was to say something about the Obstacle
Course Race. So I heard that two kids just moved
into the neighborhood and signed up for the obstacle Course race.
And it just so happens that their International Obstacle Course
Race Champions never lost a race in their lives. That
should make this year's event pretty exciting, said Levine Ivy's mom,
(05:27):
waiting to see if her plan would work. And it did, what,
exclaimed Levin Ivy, turning away from the computer screen. Are
you serious, mom, asked Ivy. International Obstacle Course Race Champions.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Is that even a thing? Asked Levi.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
It's not a thing, and there are no new kids
moving into the neighborhood. But it was clearly the only
way I could get you to pay attention to me.
I've been standing here for quite a while, said Levin
Ivy's mom. Sorry, said Ivy, but I have a headache.
Then watching a scream isn't what you should be doing
right now, said Ivy's mom, before spying a candy wrapper
(06:07):
on the floor next to an empty juice box and
eating all this junk food isn't helping you either. With
all the practicing you've been doing.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
You need to put.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Good food into your bodies like water, veggies and fruit.
No way, momoo, the sugar from candy bars and juice
boxes gives us big energy, said Levi with a yawn.
And when that energy runs out, which it does very quickly,
you're left feeling tired and cranky, answered his mom. No
(06:41):
that doesn't happen, shouted Levi before he realized that he
wasn't speaking very nicely to his mom.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Sorry, I shouldn't have yelled.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
I think you too need a little break from all
this Neighborhood Olympics practice, suggested Levi and Ivy's mom.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
No way, shouted both Levi and Ivy. What we mean
is we need.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
To practice every day so we can win again this year,
said Ivy.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
And we need to work hard to improve, said Levi,
yawning again.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Even if that means long practice sessions outside. Now that
part I like, said Levi's mom. Getting outside and exercising
is great for you, but it should be fun and
it shouldn't feel like work. The Neighborhood Olympics is meant
to be a good time, win or lose.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
You should just go out and give it your best.
But winning is the best, and that's what we want
to do. Said Ivy with a yawn.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
But right now, I think both of you need to
drink a big glass of water, go outside and relax
for a bit, said their mom before heading into the kitchen.
Levi and Ivy reluctantly turned off the computer and followed
their mom into the kitchen. They each grabbed a big
glass of water from their mom and walked outside to
their treehouse. We can hang out here for a bit
and talk about our strategy for the race, said Ivy
(08:02):
as she and Levi sat down in the bean bag
chairs that they kept in the treehouse. And as for
this water, I think it would taste a little better
with some fruit punching it, kiggled Levi as he pulled
the juice box out of his pocket. And this little
chocolate bar will definitely be a nice little snack after lunch,
added Ivy as she took a candy bar out of
a box that she kept in the treehouse. Levi and
(08:24):
Ivy spent the rest of the afternoon eating more sweets
and drinking more sugary juice as they planned how.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
They would win the obstacle course race. Again.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
They talked about who would be the best on the
balance being bonanza, the hippity hoppity hurdles, the rock and
roll ring toss, and the curvy cone circuits. But then, Ivy,
I'm not feeling so good, said Levi suddenly, as they
were finishing up their strategy for the stepping stone stop portion.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Of the race. I know how you feel.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Answered Ivy, rubbing her tummy. Maybe that second handy bar
was one too many. I think we may need to
take a little nap, and I bet we'll feel better
when we wake up. Levi agreed, and in no time
they were both asleep. They woke up a couple of
hours later, feeling better and ready to get back to practicing. However,
neither of them had any of the water that their
(09:17):
mom gave them earlier, so they were still dehydrated but
didn't know it. Once in their backyard, Ivy tried out
the hula hoop hop, but only got to the third
hula hoop before she got dizzy. Are you okay, Ivy
asked Levi. Just a little dizzy and a lat Thirsty
(09:39):
replied Ivy, I don't have any juice boxes left, sorry,
but I do have that big glass of water that.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Mom gave us.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Ive said, I guess that will have to do, said
Ivy as she took the glass gulp down the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Wow, that was great. I think I'll run inside and
grab some more.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
When Ivy came back, she had another big glass of
water and drank the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Delicious, she said, And I don't feel thirsty like after
I drink a juice box.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Le'vi. I didn't think much of it and turned his
attention to practicing the wacky walk, and that did not
go well. Ivy rushed over to her brother when he
tumbled to the ground after just.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Two whacky twisty steps.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Here, drink this water and sip for a little bit,
said Ivy. I can't believe I didn't notice this earlier.
I learned all about this in school. If you don't
drink enough water, you get dehydrated, and that can make
you dizzy, especially when it's hot out like today. We've
listened to his sister and felt a lot better after
drinking the big glass of water. Okay, I guess mom
(10:41):
was right, said Levi, as Ivy continued practicing for the
rest of the afternoon. But unfortunately, that was the only
habit that I changed that day. They ditched the juice boxes,
but still kept sneaking sugary treats for quick energy, watching
too many screens, and not going to bed on time.
That night, like many nights before, Levi and Ivy stayed
(11:03):
up late mapping out the obstacle course race on big
paths of paper in their bedrooms.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
After their parents fell asleep.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
They stayed up until midnight drying out the course and
figuring out ways to maximize their talents to win, win, win.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
They were so excited and full of energy while they.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Were in the monument, but in the morning it was
also impossible to get them out of bed, and one
morning that became a big problem. Levi Ivy, where are
you two? Called their mom as she walked upstairs to
get to their rooms. You said you were up twenty
minutes ago when I called you the first time.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
If you don't get up, you're going to be late.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
For signing up for the Neighborhood Olympics. Levi and Ivy
couldn't believe what they were hearing, and John, you have
a ben as soon as their mom mentioned the Neighborhood Olympics.
Oh no, if we don't sign up, then we can't
complete in the Obstacle Course race, called out Levi's, he
ran to get dressed. Ivy did the same, and they
met downstairs in the living room ready to run out
the door. Hold on, and you still need to get
(12:01):
breakfast before you go. It's a very important meal and
it helps fuel your body for the first part of
the day, said their mom as she walked out of
the kitchen. We'll eat when we get back, Mom called
out Levi's. He ran out the door, with Ivy close behind.
See you in a bit, Mom yelled back Ivy as
she slammed the door shut. But did they have enough
time to make it to their signups or were their
(12:24):
bad habits put up a stop at the Obstacle Course
race before it even began. Hey, friends, that's the end
of part one. Come back soon for part two. Thanks

I have a great obstacle course skills and so do you.
I mean, there's no kid in the neighborhood better than
you at the monkey bar maze, the bike wheelie.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Raid or the spinning run.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Levi and Ivy high fived each other and continued to

That night, like many nights before, Levi and Ivy stayed
(11:03):
up late mapping out the obstacle course race on big
paths of paper in their bedrooms.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
After their parents fell asleep.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
They stayed up until midnight drying out the course and
figuring out ways to maximize their talents to win, win, win.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
They were so excited and full of energy while they.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Were in the monument, but in the morning it was
also impossible to get them out of bed, and one
morning that became a big problem. Levi Ivy, where are
you two? Called their mom as she walked upstairs to
get to their rooms. You said you were up twenty
minutes ago when I called you the first time.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
If you don't get up, you're going to be late.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
For signing up for the Neighborhood Olympics. Levi and Ivy
couldn't believe what they were hearing, and John, you have
a ben as soon as their mom mentioned the Neighborhood Olympics.
Oh no, if we don't sign up, then we can't
complete in the Obstacle Course race, called out Levi's, he
ran to get dressed. Ivy did the same, and they
met downstairs in the living room ready to run out
the door. Hold on, and you still need to get
(12:01):
breakfast before you go. It's a very important meal and
it helps fuel your body for the first part of
the day, said their mom as she walked out of
the kitchen. We'll eat when we get back, Mom called
out Levi's. He ran out the door, with Ivy close behind.
See you in a bit, Mom yelled back Ivy as
she slammed the door shut. But did they have enough
time to make it to their signups or were their
(12:24):
bad habits put up a stop at the Obstacle Course
race before it even began. Hey, friends, that's the end
of part one. Come back soon for part two. Thanks
