Is this called an obstacle course?

I had almost forgotten I had the Q in the morning, so I was scrambling in my head late Friday while I was riding White Water Falls with my two sons, one who was having his 8th birthday. I was trying to think of something simple, hard, and repeatable. AMRAP. Here is what we did.

Jog around front of school.
COP
20xSSH
20xIW
20XMerkins

The Thang:
Follow me around the school as I point out what we are going to do at each station. Start at the playground and repeat the following as many times as possible.

10 pull ups
Jog to small track
Bear crawl short distance across and run to the trail in the woods.
40 dips
Run the trail, and come back for 20 derkins
Head over to the logs for 20 pistol squats on each leg
Run over to the blocks and grab a block for 40 curls.

Rinse and repeat 4 times.

Circle up for some Mary called about by Joker and Squid. Then when I got there, 10x can opener on each leg.

Moleskin:
I was struggling all morning from dehydration. I got a leg cramp at 2am and I knew it was going to suck. I thought beer was good to get hydrated, but apparently not. Having a few Friday night never helps. I could have sworn at least the carbs would help. Anyway, Joker, Squid and WD kept pushing the pace, while OT and Huggie kept trying to lose me. I definitely hold the record for the slowest obstacle course race. Each lap was 0.80+ miles, so we got a total of 3.8 in including the warm up. Nice work fellas.
