Knocked out requirements with Mom

I did my requirements with Mom and got them done. She can do sit-ups fast, but she's a little fluffy on the inside.  My Mom doesn't really like burpees. When I do my requirements she does them too. I really like doing my requirements.They get me strong and healthy. Its really challenging when you do a lot of them at the same time.

Two moons

Today I saw two moons outside.  I know it was just one moon but it must have had a reflection.  I stayed up looking at the moon starting at 9:30pm to 10:53pm. We were coming from Gma's house on the highway.  It was not that bright outside, so I had a good view of it.

first day back at camp

It was my first back at camp from a couple weeks off.  It felt pretty good but annoying. Some people are pretty wild and talk too much.They sometimes get us in trouble. People did start to learn to stop talking so much.  We played a couple of mat games. Some people just couldn't handle it, so they had to sit out a round. But it was still a very good day.  I actually got to help at one station. Cool.

Zach's Pre-test

Hi! Today was my pre-test and I had a good time. Now I know what it feels like to start testing. I got some of my requirements in and that was good.  And I went to the sparring seminar and that was helpful too.  What I liked best about the seminar was that I found out what parts I was doing wrong on a couple of my poomsaes. When I was sparring I learned in techniques so that I can become a better fighter.  I'm ready for the next competition and hopefully win in my match. I also got to read about the megalosaurus which means giant lizard. I really like dinosuars!! All kinds of them.
