Yellow belts!

This weekend the boys and a couple of their friends tested for the next level up karate belt. Caleb, Benjamin, and Mary tested for yellow belt, and Sean for green belt. The instructor comes to our house each week for the lesson, but the test was at her gym. We got to watch, and it was super cute!

For warm-up, they ran several laps around the gym.

Benjamin and Mary double teaming the kicks and punches. Look at how serious he is.

And then Caleb and Sean did a little sparring.

Finished with the test!

Ms. Irish is a great Tae Kwan Do instructor, and she is so patient with the kids.

We are so proud of their hard work, and it was a fun day for all of us! We finished the day enjoying brunch at the pancake house with our friends. Thankfully, we didn't get beat up that night by the boys ;). Stay tuned for videos soon!
