Karate testing

Caroline had her test for her second stripe on her green belt.

Aaron and Alex really wanted to go in and see Caroline and Carter in karate, so, in a moment of weakness I let them come in.
Karate is held at the YMCA and they use one of the workout rooms for the class--so the boys sat on the exercise equipment while they watched.

Aaron LOVED LOVED LOVED the karate moves.  In fact, he loved them so much he started doing them too...including the yells.  This became a bit distracting as the entire class was laughing at Aaron while the instructor was trying to do the testing....so Aaron had to go to the kids class.

Caroline did great in her testing

Afterwards they did free sparing (pretend to fight each other but not actually make contact)

(Carter is the green belt in this picture)

Caroline passed and got her stripe.
