Karate Tournament & Petey's Birthday

Alex participated in the tournament again - this year as a solo display rather than as a group like last year.  He is a blue belt with 2 stripes.  He sparred with another blue belt and then did his form.





He lost the sparring match but did a great job!

a little stretching


Telling the judges his name, where he is from, that he would like to perform the Western Tiger Form, and asking permission to begin.



Didn't get a trophy, but was a solid 9.5 from the judges!  Great job!!!!

A few Halloween bits

Helping to hand out (I mean eat) candy

After trick-or-treating, Alex abandoned his Darth Maul costume and donned this home made assault pack complete with missiles (so that's where all my skewers went!)
