State Wrestling: 2012 Edition


Every year my family and many others descend on Columbus for the annual State Wrestling Tournament.  I know most of you are thinking right now that we are indeed crazy for taking three small children to a three day event like this. Normally I would say you were right but they were the most well behaved children I'd ever seen that weekend.  I couldn't even believe they were mine! This year we were missing the Richmond family but we managed without them.



This rules. Thumbs up Mom and Dad!




People ask me why she won't come out of her shell and I just don't know what to tell them.. ;)





We're doing this again people?




Check it out RG2 in the left hand corner of the big screen.  We tried to call him forever to get him to turn around and wave but he wouldn't pick up. Post hot dog #2 perhaps?*




Saturday: Everyone sporting some Buckeye Love!


..and then there were nine...



The lovebirds, refusing to admit either of them are wrong.







No visit is complete without visiting Brutus.  Morgan visited him about 8 times that weekend.




Someone enjoyed her first Buckeye experience.


Waiting for "the show" (as she called it) to begin







*So my dad gets a media pass every year to take pictures. They also have a media room where they serve food.  The following conversation happened in the car on the way back to the hotel.

RG2: I had a hot dog in the media room, got halfway through and went back to have another.
(lots of conversation in between)
K: Wait, you got halfway through your hotdog and it was so good you went back for another before you finished?
RG2: No, I meant halfway through the wrestling session.

You tell me what you would think after he said the first sentence?

It's Observation Week at Gymnastics

Every other month or so Morgan has observation week at gymnastics where friends and family can come watch.  Usually her class is closed doors.  I understand why when I come to observation week because Morgan has a hard time paying attention to what she's supposed to be doing when there is a room full of people. Especially people she knows.  This week Ashley, Kelly, and Mack came to watch.  Kelly and Mack only made it to the last 10 minutes but hey A for effort.  Next year Mack gets to join Mo in class! 



Everyone getting warmed up.



Practicing our belly bridges.  I'm amazed at Morgan's upper body strength for a 3 year old.


Cartwheels!


This one just cracks me up!






The bars, Morgan's favorite. She can hold herself up on them all by herself!






Practicing on the beam.  This was towards the end and Morgan was starting to get a little distracted.

Yay Morgan!

Field Trip: Pizza Hut

 Today was Morgan's field trip to Pizza Hut. We went to the Pizza Hut in Brimfield, which somehow I've never been in, even though it's 5 minutes from our house.  Anyway, it's pretty nice in there!  The kids each got to go back in the kitchen and make their very own pizza that was then cooked and brought to them  by the server.  They each wore chef hats that they had decorated in class earlier in the week. 


How cute! Waiting for her turn.





Pre-cooking: Sauce, Pepperoni, and cheese.


The finished product, yum!



Hanging with all the girls in the corner booth.


BFFs.
