NORCAL Jiu Jitsu Tournament!

A very eventful day!!

Daryle and the little Smiths have been going to Jiu Jitsu for a few months now and they absolutely love it. Don't ask me how it's different from Tae Kwan Do, other than being equally difficult to spell, but they seem to be learning more and getting more out of it than their last experience. (Lots of grappling and wrestling and holds and tapping out.) They are quite competitive, too it appears, especially when they're in an actual tournament with people watching! (We have no idea where they got that from.)

Anyway, there were only 5 in their age group (meaning our children and one other little boy!) Rea ended up getting 1st place and Ni'ke got 2nd. Hooray!! Everyone was starving by the time they got done, so they swung by the house to rescue me from my day of domestic slavery and off we went to eat lunch at Hank's Creekside Cafe, Santa Rosa's best kept secret. (Crab Cakes Benedict! Who new??!!)

So we are now recovering at home with a wonderful lazy evening of popcorn, hot chocolate, and a yet-to-be-determined movie!

I love love LOVE my weekends off!!!

Blessings to ya!
