Mason's First Jiu Jitsu Tournament!

Mason participated in his first real tournament on Saturday and it was amazing.  I had no idea what the rules were or what to expect and I was very pleasantly surprised.  Mason had 6 matches and won them all. It was so intense and exciting.  

 First match- there was a big crowd watching.  I thought Mason might get scared but he went for it.  This was Tiger division and each kid had a coach in their corner helping them.

 Scoring 4points on a hold.

Getting awarded first place medal!

 While the older kids were fighting I took Ko and Mason next door to Trader Joes for a few treats.

Paris and her Girls on the Run Team.  She is training again to run another 5K in May.

 Close range water gun fight between Mason and Alex.

Spring Break Part 1

On our way up to the Palm Springs Aerial Tram that took us 8,500 feet up to the top of the mountain. The tram was all windows, with a revolving floor.  Very beautiful and scary! It was 80 degrees down here.

At the top- 38 degrees.

 

We stayed up top and hiked and played in the snow for a couple of hours.

Back down in the desert. Paul, Paris and I rode up front and Mason and Alex sat where the golf clubs would have gone:)
