Taekwondo Tournament
The Reader had his first major Taekwondo Tournament! He had participated in a smaller tournament once before, but this was his first big event.
Participating in the competition was educational. The Reader had hopes for a better result, but learned a lot!
8/29/22 – 9/4/22
The first day of school! We were so excited!
After more than two years of staying home together, the pets took a couple of days of adjusting (to a quiet home).
Week of 8/15/22 – 8/21/22
We went swimming a few times.
And the Negotiator created many things…
The Reader won the library’s summer reading program! He got a local toy store gift card as a prize.
We tried the new water gun too!
Week of 8/8/22 – 8/14/22
The Reader had a week of taekwondo camp this week. So after dropping him off, the Negotiator and Mom took a morning walk.
And the afternoon walk – with a hat and sunglasses.
On Saturday, there was a Summerfest in the town. One of the event was 5k, which Dad and the Reader participated!
Before the race:
The race is about to start:
To the finish line!
After the race:
It was the Reader’s first 5k race, and we are so proud of him!!!
After the race, we looked around the event.
Week of 7/31/22 – 8/7/22 part 2
I think it was Wednesday. The Boys wanted to try this.
On Thursday, we had a cross country, a tennis, a taekwondo, and a swimming class. I took these photos while taking a walk with the Reader and Hope.
Then we found this cool fort!
We had to climb the tree again. And Hope posed for the picture too.
We also had a library event on Thursday.
Friday was very hot, and it was hard to fall asleep. So we stayed a little late waiting for the weather to cool down, while enjoying a ‘bedtime banana’ just like the book we like!
Week of 7/31/22 – 8/7/22 part 1
Dad left for Colorado for a week with a Mom’s haircut.
Since the pandemic, it was the very first time that any of family was away for this long.
The Boys had a tennis class on Saturday.
We took a walk on the dirt road a couple times. It was quite hot.
On Monday, the Reader had a cross country practice, and the Negotiator had a tennis class. Instead of driving back and forth, we took a walk with Hope while the other is busy.
Then we went to watch a movie. We were the only ones in the theater!
On Tuesday, we had a cross country, a tennis class, and a taekwondo. Mom took a lot of walks while waiting.
We found this cool tree, and had to climb it.
We played at the park too.
