Exciting Weekend!

We started out our Weekend 'O Fun with a sleepover at our house Friday night....check out these two pretzel walruses!

I gave them their choice for dinner and of course they chose sushi!  Times sure have changed since the sleepovers of my own youth. :)
 
Sweet sleeping boys...I had to force them to go to sleep at 11.
 
  Saturday morning, we were up bright and early for T's belt testing at karate

At this level, the testing lasts 2 grueling hours....non-stop. And includes sparring.
 

T did great though and successfully earned his orange belt!

 The whole testing group with the Senseis. 
 

The next day we were ready for the inaugural game of the new MLS team, Orlando City Lions! 

Along with 62,000 other fans, we started our tailgate early....on a gorgeous sunny day! 
 
 Lots of good food and friendship

Paint the stadium purple!!!

Totally packed...and a great game even though it ended up in a tie. Soccer fans are crazy!!!  And fun!

Had to snap this crazy pic of my weird barefooted kid climbing up a nearby goal post!
 
This is a video of T at his belt testing...demonstrating a take-down on another student.  No worries, this tall girl got to take him down next!  :)
This little girl is T's age but about a foot taller.  They are friends so had a good time taking each other down. :)
And this is T doing a kata for the Sensei - cannot remember the name of this form but he rocked it.
 
All in all, a fabulous fun-filled weekend!!

We are very proud of Taylor for getting his orange belt - Go,T-man!
How is baseball going?
Tailgating looked like a lot of fun - glad y'all had a nice day for soccer.
