I went to a karate tournament in Austin, Texas. It was my first ever tournament and I was so excited. Before the tournament we stopped at a cool taco place for lunch. It was called Torchey's Tacos. Here I am standing in front of the restaurant by a big cactus!
Then, I took a picture of my mom and dad.
Here I am with some other kids from my school at the tournament. We were getting ready for our events!
I'm telling the judges my name, what school I'm from and what form I'll be doing for them.
Here I am doing my form for the judges.
I had a lot of fun and just tried to do my best.
Then we had to spar. I kept winning each match so I kept getting to go again. Then I found out I won 2nd place!
Here I am getting my medal for 2nd place in both forms and sparring.
Me with my 2 silver medals.
I'm so excited I couldn't stop smiling.
Here's all the people that went down to Texas from my school. I'm in the front row second from the right.
After the tournament I was SO hungry. We went to a place called Hula Hut for dinner.
It was so good and a lot of fun. I want to go to there the next time we're in Austin.
At the hotel we stayed at we made our own waffles for breakfast. They were in the shape of Texas! How awesome!
The next day we went to my cousin Weston's house. I love hanging out with Weston. He's so funny.
I can't wait to go to this tournament next year! We had such a great time.
