Taekwondo Tournament

Mac had his very first tournament. It was very exciting! The cool thing about this tournament was that his instructor was the host. He also got to see his instructor Mr. Duer (who is a Master candidate) perform his 6th degree black belt form. Mac thought that was so cool! 
The whole thing was a bit chaotic, but it was alot of fun.

They had all the Tiny Tigers turn their belts around and hold on to the kid in front of them so they could walk in a line walking into the opening ceremony. 

Waiting his turn to do his form.He was wiggly and had a hard time sitting like a black belt. But he wasn't the only one.




Each kid got a medal for participating and when they handed Mac he was told he had the "best black belt attitude".  He was so proud of his medal, but it only lasted around his neck for 10 seconds. He refused to wear it, but didn't put it down the rest of the day.


My brother Chris happened to be in town for a business trip and he was able to come and watch. Mac was obsessed with his uncle Chris and got upset every time he had to leave.
(side note: after seeing my brother this last weekend, I have been lucky enough to see all five of my siblings this year. That is really unheard of with the six of us spread out over four states.)

Both sets of grandparents came.

It was my parents 50th wedding anniversary, but they still were able to come.


And some videos...
