All the hard work has paid off

 Anthony tested for his black belt today. What a journey it has been.
It's taken him a lot of hard work to do it.
Today he had to pass off.....
Two Forms (Red and purple)
Disarming
Two different weapon basics
Sparring
Lastly board breaks (foot & hand)

Once we received the news that he past they did a nice ceremony. 
Anthony started his flame from his instructors candle.

Then he got the belt.

Lastly we as parents got to pull the last knot in his belt. 

What an accomplishment! 

A black belt is a white belt that never gave up.

Ice Castles

The girls and I decided to take our families to the Ice Castles in Midway. 

They were so cool to see. And we went at the perfect time. 
As it has been warming up and things are melting quickly.












The kids really enjoyed it. 
The three of us even climbed through the ice tunnel to do the ice slide.

Must do again!
