Wrestling In The New Year

Happy 2011 everyone!!!  Our year has gotten off to a great start so far.  Busy, but still great.  All of our Christmas decorations have been packed up and stored away in the attic.  I was very sad to see everything go and the house looks so bare now, but I must look disappointment in the face and accept it.  Over the weekend, our cousins were in town from Rolla, MO for a wrestling tournament at the fairgrounds.  On Saturday evening, Adam and his friend Devon were both wrestling in the finals so we took Nicholas to watch the matches.  It was really cool to see all those kids competing, and let me tell ya, they've got a lot of heart!  Their fire and determination was visible on their strained faces as they dueled it out on the mat.  Nicholas had so much fun cheering on his cousin from the stands.  In fact, the very first thing he said to me the next morning was "Fun last night!"  Oh, and he also singlehandedly ate almost an entire bag of popcorn.  I think that added to the pleasure factor quite a bit.  Who needs a nutritious meal anyway?  The event was also a great opportunity for me to get some practice taking pictures of sporting events.  Those kids were simply amazing!
