Abby's 2011 Karate Tournament
After having recently been promoted to orange belt, Abby participated in Mike Carr's 2011 Karate Tournament. The Tournament started with a specular demonstration of one of the instructors chopping two pieces of wood in half that were on fire!
She started a little slow with grappling - Julie says she does better against the boys than against the girls in grappling. As you can see, it was a close match, but she lost:
Next up was sword fighting. She was upset about her loss in grappling and took it out on the other girls. Here is her first round fight:
A victory in round one resulted in a second round fight:
A victory in the second fight resulted in a third:
A victory in her third fight resulted in a trip to the FINALS:
Abby finished in second. As you can see in this photo, the girl who beat Abby was older and bigger:
The tournament concluded with some Randori. Abby lost her first fight but, as you can see, it was close.
All in all, the tournament was a success and we had a great time. As you can see from her giant smile, Abby enjoyed herself. This is what she had to say when she was done:

Awesome!!!! The Metallica with fire really sets the tone for the whole tournament for me.
Bathing is an enjoyable time between you and your baby. Your new born baby during the first six weeks does not necessarily need a full bath every day. A soft wash cloth or cotton wool and some warm water will do to clean him up.Baby bathing is fun
