Harvest Festival

We got to take Nicholas,Conor & Layla our little nephews & adopted niece to the church Harvest Festival at Powell Valley Covenant Church. We battled Darth Vader, visited some princess in a pavilion and loaded up on candy and prizes. Alex and Christian especially loved giving Darth Vader a beat down with their light sabers :) It was a great family event and we are looking forward to the holiday season fun kicking off.

Great Wold Lodge

Nothing like going on a vacation at the start of the rainy season. What better place to go than Great Wolf Lodge when the sun fails to shine. Christian had a great time going down some water slides. It was a new first for him. Alex also had a great time in the wave pool and the kid areas. We ate a lot of pizza and chicken strips since groupon hooked us up with about $150 worth of food at the vendors. The boys especially loved going on the Magiquest and battling the red dragon. We tried to defeat the silver dragon, but failed on that quest. If you see the silver dragon lurking anywhere around your area, let us know. We are wanting a rematch!!! It was a great time with the family and we can't wait to go again.

Christians 1st belt testing!!!

Christian did AWESOME on his first belt testing! He is now a low yellow belt! Here is a couple of things he has picked up in taekwondo over the last couple of months. He now knows how to count to 1-10 in Korean 1. Hana 2. doul 3. Set 4. Net 5. Docet 6. Yocet 7. Ilga 8. You-dul 9. uhup 10. Youl. He can also do a KILLER front kick, roundhouse kick, break a rebreakable board with any hand technique & he is developing self discipline with self control. He is doing such a great job! We are very proud parents and incredibly thankful for Grandma Karen willing to pay for Christian's lessons. This is a great area for Christian to develop and would recommend it highly for other parents to consider for their own kids.
