Don't tell Mother Nature that it is almost October! While the leaves are still falling, we are getting glorious sunny weather and heat! LOVE IT! The sun has allowed us all kinds of nature discovery. We tracked a red squirrel who had an underground burrow, we found a baby snapping turtle and studied a set of spider webs highlighted by the morning dew. The kids played in a fort and basked in the sun for 3 hours. Mom's enjoyed the peaceful easy pace of the day! I wish nature walks were were always so successful!
Sid and Lilly are getting geared up for Halloween. Sid has decided she wants to be a vampire and Lilly snarfed her teeth and started chewing on them. I guess she is going out as a vamp too!
Lastly our crazy week of Karate! Sid is going to her regular classes and twice a week is also taking part in the older kids class. She had become a little demo kid for the club and loves to "preform" her spin kicks, splits and forms for the parents. It is a perfect combo of athleticism, coordination and preformance art. Here she demonstrates her full splits in the air while Sigung was joking about counting to 500. I love the look on her face. (of course he did only count to about 10!)
Here she is in the older kid class demonstrating her balance
Her and an older kid hold each other up and smile. This picture is going to become the new poster for the club and will be used in advertising. Sigung took me aside this week and told me how incredibly proud he was of Sid. He is just amazed at her drive and determination. We too are very proud of her and are thrilled she has found something she really loves.
Go Sid! She's looks so amazing in her class, what amazing progress she has made!
