Karate demo

Today Marcus, Cale and Ewan were involved in a karate demo at an event called the Tipton Pork Festival. Their dojo but on a demo and talked about different skills and their bullying program they will be doing (how to stand up to bullies, not to bully). The boys were so cute up on stage and serious. They did their kata with the whole group, got to kick (and break) and very thin piece of wood-like plank and participate in sparing (Ewan and Marcus) and hold escaping (Cale). Kella enjoyed being held by Andy and Liam was grumpy and whined almost the entire show. The kids were disappointed we did not stay to enjoy more of the pork festival, but I didn't feel like trying to feed them there (fair type food-overpriced). I did make the mistake of mentioning possibly getting Subway for lunch, but then recinded the offer after some melt-downs in the car-big mistake. But, they all recovered and manage to enjoy the rest of their day.
