New Sports

In February Alex, Henry, and Lydia decided to try out some new sports!  Henry and Alex started karate and Lydia is trying ballet.  I found some classes at the community center on Saturday mornings.  First a 30 ballet class for Lydia, then a 30 minute break, and afterward 1 1/2 hour karate class.  The class description said that it was an hour... so it was quite a surprise when it kept going!

The first week Alex was sick so it was just Henry and Lydia.  They both really liked their classes.  Lydia did great  playing quietly for so long during karate and Henry stuck it out through the whole class.  Since that extra 30 minutes was unexpected I treated Henry and Lydia to some Dippin' Dots (I get a free cup every month this year.)

In between ballet and karate we usually head out to the car, listen to music or a story, and get a snack.

Everyone seems to enjoy their classes and they have learned a lot. 

We had just signed up for another month of classes and then the Coronavirus hit the country... so classes were cancelled and refunded.  Hopefully they'll want to join again when life is back to normal.
