Wrestling

Wrestling this year has been fun.  We are doing the long season for the first time this year and have been to several tournaments.  If three practices a week plus tournaments on Saturdays aren't enough, we thought we'd get a mat to put in the basement so they can wrestle when they are bored :) 

 This is after the Weber tournament.  I don't remember what place the kids took.  I think Will took 2nd and Sam and Mike took 3rd.  I could be totally wrong though...

 Here we are with the Redd's.  These awesome boys are some of our kids best friends.  They wrestle and play together.  And hard.  Not a dull moment with this bunch.  So fun to see them all together!

When our boys were really little Reed told me that they were going to wrestle when they got older.  I was not sold.  I wasn't the biggest fan of wrestling.  I knew nothing about it and it was just a little weird to me.  I am now sold.  It has been so good for our boys and their coach is awesome.  He just loves what he does and he loves the boys.  Wrestling is good for our kids because they have to focus and can't space off and chase butterflies (not that there is anything wrong with chasing butterflies...)  They have also learned a lot and they work hard and get some of that awesome energy out.
