Tae Kwon Do Party

 Carter had a Tae Kwon Do party for his birthday this year.  He invited all his friends from school and a good number of them were able to attend.  Master Scarcella and the other instructors did a wonderful job with the kids.  They all had a great time and the parents enjoyed watching the fun.

 They got to learn all sorts of kicks, punches and combinations.

 Carter got to demonstrate with Master Scarcella what they were going to do next.

 Audrey didn't want to participate.  She just watched from the edge of the mat.

 After they were done with the lesson they all got a headband.  Master Scarcella tied it on each of them then they bowed to their friends and they applauded them.

 They turned out the lights and brought out the lit cake while we all sang to him.  Carter thought it was pretty cool.

 The kids waiting for the cake to be cut.

 The party ended with the instructors doing a board breaking demonstration.  Carter got to start it off by breaking this board.  I forgot to change the speed on the camera so I missed getting a picture of the board breaking but we have it on video.

I painted these chinese take out boxes for the goodie bags.  I filled them with tae kwon do stickers, tattoos, fortune cookies and other goodies, touchable bubbles and little ninja figurines.  It wasn't easy finding things in this theme but it worked.
