We had quite a weekend!!
Saturday was Adam's first chess tournament. He had a great time, won one match, tied 2 and lost 3. It also helped that in between matches they played dodgeball and basketball and they have lots of snacks and pizza for lunch! I'm so proud that he's brave enough to play this challenging game and hang out in a new place with new people all day (parents don't stay).
He earned a bronze medal and some experience.
Also, that evening, Grandma C. and Papa took him to play Pokemon at Level Up games and he won his first ever match! He's worked very hard and long to improve his deck and strategy and it paid off.
And Laura had her spring karate tournament the next day.
She seriously blew them all away in form...again! Mr. Quinn proudly said he could hear her from across the crowded and very noisy gym.
Her first sparring match was textbook - so careful and well executed. No problem.
Then came this girl. Laura kept the calm for a long time, then tried some tiny-person zigging and zagging, but she just couldn't get enough to connect. Now she has her first 3rd place trophy!
It was a great, successful weekend and I'm happy to say that both kids worked hard and learned a lot. As for the adults, we learned that being a spectator is exhausting!
