Ian has really been enjoying his karate class this year. Just this last month he had earned his 8 stripes on his white belt and had the opportunity to test for his next belt. Here he is with his white belt and 8 stripes.
This is Ian testing for his yellow belt. He only had to be corrected on one thing (he turned his fist the wrong way on one move). We are so happy that he has put the time and effort into doing so well in his classes. There was a lot for him to remember for this and he rocked it!
At the end of the test for yellow belt the kids were asked to make a "mean face", so here is Ian's! His Hanshi (teacher) is the guy on the left in the red shirt. He is an 11 time world champion.
Over Easter weekend we went to the zoo and invited Joh, Alysha, and Makaylee to go along with us. Here's Ian and Makaylee seeing how they measure up to the size of an ape.
And here's Ian riding a tiger.
While Ian was on his last school break we took him and his best friend (also named Ian) to the ice skating rink. I (Shelly) have only been ice skating once before and it was fun to go again. We all had a blast!
Brian grew up in Michigan, where hockey is a big thing. I think this is the first time he's been back on the ice since he left Michigan. And he still has the skills! It was great watching him on the ice!
Ian never ceases to keep us entertained! Here's a crazy hat idea he came up with.
Brian bowling a strike!
