Noels Brown Belt

Noel has been working very hard this spring and summer for his brown belt. On Friday he achieved his goal. The testing was a physical challenge but Noel came through with flying colors. He also broke two boards during his testing. First he broke one with his foot and then moved right into a knife strike and broke another board with his hand. It was pretty cool! His goal in Taekwondo is to become a 9th degree black belt. We are very proud of his hard work and determination. Next testing this fall will be for his brown black stripe and then we are hoping he will test for his black belt in March. Way to go Noel!

July 4th

We started July with a rainy 4th. We did not see fireworks and spent most of the weekend inside. It rarely rains all day and for several days but it did on this holiday weekend. We still managed some watermelon and sparklers and a few small fireworks in our driveway in between thunderstorms!
