End of September

Not much happened in September the only thing left was the tae kwon do tournament in Dayton WY. The Sheridan and Cody schools take turns hosting the fall tournament.  Sheridan gets the even years while Cody get the odd.  This year the tournament was in Dayton at their little comminity building.

We only had two students compete and they were Brandon our grandson and another boy Dominic.  Both boys are 15 years old so it worked out.  We had to give Brandon a ride as his parents both had to work that weekend.  We didn't mind one bit.

The fall colors around here are gorgeous this year so I was able to get some photos on the way down and back home.  The colors around Lodge Grass are the best especially along the creek.  I had already posted these photos on my picasa site and some on facebook.  The photos just didn't get the colors as I got with my own eyes.  The leaves are still holding their pretty colors, but now that we are getting cooler temperatures that will change.  Won't be long until the trees are bare.

Brandon and Dominic did very well at the tournament, both boys came home with nothing but gold medals.  This was a small tournament so a great confidence booster for Dominic.  He only competed in forms, we tried to talk him into sparring but he just wouldn't do it.  He and Brandon are sparring partners in class so I think that scared him a bit as Brandon is a higher rank.  We tried to convince Dominic that he will only compete kids at his level. 

Brandon competed in weapons and sparring.  It was a small tournament so we got done early.  Also we had to get Brandon back home as he had to play in the band later that night.

I just have to get the photo of the boys in the paper.  This time of year we get bumped because of school sports.  I just have to keep on it.
