Show and Tell Friday
Posted in Show and Tell Fridays
It's what time? It's Show and Tell Friday time!!! Whoo Hoo!!! If you'd like to see what others are sharing and/or you'd like to join in, please go see our wonderful host Mary @ Canadagirl!!
If you've visited with me before, maybe you've caught me bragging on my kids about how well they did in our states first karate tournament. Well, at this same tournament we did a fund raiser forHomes of Hope in Fiji by having anyone who wanted to buy some boards to break. They could kick them or punch them. Of course there were rules by which everyone had to abide. I'll spare you the details because I want to get to the good stuff ~ My kids!! : }
I was recently given some pictures a friend took of my kids breaking boards.
This was Kung Fu Panda's favorite part!! He even took some of his birthday money and bought some boards to break!!!
Cooper Kid couldn't be outdone. He had to try a kick as well.
They both did great and we didn't have any broken bones, cuts, or scratches!! We were even able to raise $400.00. I don't think it gets any better than that for a first year!!!
Next year will be even better!

What a very cool way to raise money and fun at the same time!
(Thanks for stopping by and leaving bigcatcentral a comment on his S&T post as well - he doesn't get many visitors so he was thrilled!)

Good for them!
And in reference to your prior post, my middle ds calls them knee pits too. Makes sense. Doesn't it?

Finally getting around to friends, sigh. WOW, that is great about your kiddos and breaking boards. I wouldn't want to sneak up on them. And the fund rasing too! Super!!!! Happy Birthday to your hubby too. Only 40 - just kids. Have a great week!!!
re: Great Wolf Lodge - we have been there twice. We usually go to either Great Wolf or Kalahari or Wilderness Resort. Wilderness is our favorite: http://www.wildernessresort.com/ It's the largest & that is where we went this time.
