Saturday we had two students compete in the Lone Wolf Tae Kwon Do Championships in Powell. We like this tournament and the director is a good friend of ours. Gary had met him when both were cops back in the day.
What makes it bad is that this tournament and our are back to back. Last year they were on the same day. Our students did a good job, Michael came home with a 3rd and 1st place trophy, while Brandon (grandson) came home with a 4th place medal. It was a long tournament, as the sparring matches were double elimination. We were done at 5:45 pm. At this tournament we don't have to work at it and I am able to be the photographer and take good photos of our students. This also exposes them to a different style of tae kwon do.
One thing about this tournament is that we get to go to Meeteetse and visit with the Grandma's so we don't have the long drive home. We met Mom at The Elk Horn for dinner, then Gary and I went to the Cowboy for a couple drinks. Mom took Grandma's dinner home then she came back and met us. We didn't stay too long, left at 9:00. Gary and I were both tired as we had a very long day, not to mention losing an hour of sleep because of the time change.
There were quite a few younger people in the bar, one was a girl that Robert had met when he was down for Mom's birthday party. She was celebrating her birthday so we bought her a couple drinks.
Sunday I went to church with the Grandma's then Gary met us for breakfast at Lucilles. There were some other church people who ate with us. What was a surprise is that Lucille's is now a smoke free establishment. Emily was busy but I did get to say a quick hi.
We left for home after breakfast, taking time to get adjusted to the time change. We got home around 2:30 and I had time to get a quick workout before the pool closed at 6:00.
Jennifer and I went to the movie "Oz The Great & Powerful". This was her birthday movie. I liked the movie and it explained how the Wicked Witch of the East got wicked. I have been asked if it would be a good movie to take kids. That would depend on the ages of the kids. I wouldn't take little ones as there are some scary parts in the movie.
The winged baboons are scary looking and they are loud and when the witch turns evil that could be a little scary for kids because she was beautiful and good in the beginning of the movie.
