Carter's Wrestling Tournament - Spring Valley

Another busy weekend for the Dorwin's. Chad took Carter to a sand mine tour in Maiden Rock on Saturday for cub scouts. They both enjoyed the tour! He then took him to see "Hotel for Dogs" at the Durand theater. Grandma Deb & Grandpa Ken came over and picked up Bradley so that I could get some work done on my thesis. I had a deadline to meet and am cutting it very close. ****Thanks mom & dad for letting Bradley come over to play!!****

We were off to another wrestling tournament today in Spring Valley. Bradley helped Carter warm-up before the tournament began.......

Looks like Bradley is getting close to a pin!! :-)

Carter had tough competition today. In fact, I did not get many pictures as the matches were over before I knew it! His first opponent was from Spring Valley. The Spring Valley boy pinned Carter not long into the match. Here is Carter getting ready to wrestle......

Carter is waiting for his opponent, getting himself all psyched-up to wrestle! :-)

Carter's second opponent was from Baldwin. Carter was pinned, once again, shortly into the match. The boy was so sweet, at the end that he gave Carter a hug. I wish I could have gotten it on camera!

Carter's last match was a forfeit from a Spring Valley boy. Carter was VERY excited that he got 3rd place.......due to the forfeit. :-)

It made the first two pins all worth it!!!

We saw lots of tears today from the little wrestlers, but I have to tell you, each time Carter came off the mat, he came with a smile! You could tell he was disappointed, but he gave it his all and had fun doing it. We are so proud of him for this. It is great to see his good sportsmanship.

Carter's loyal fans.......thanks Grandma & Grandpa for coming to cheer Carter on. It means a lot to him to have you there!!

Chad left after the 2nd match as Bradley was tired and ready to go home. Grandma & Grandpa gave us a ride home.

Ah, what a picture.....we are a family that loves wrestling.......thanks to Uncle Jamie!! :-)

You made the sport very exciting for us.......back-in-the-day!!

Okay....so this next part is for Carter. He is staying at Grandma Deb & Grandpa Ken's tonight as he does not have school tomorrow (due to parent-teacher conferences, which I also have at Alma). When I went to download my pictures tonight, I found these snapshots of Carter that he took of himself on the way home from the tournament. I didn't even know that he was doing this. Enjoy the next pictures of our crazy fool!!

To save the best for last........

Thanks for the entertainment, Carter!!

And this last picture is for Bradley, that he took at the tournament. These are his toys....Eva and Eva. He stayed busy playing with Eva and Eva during the tournament! :-)

It was a fun day!

Have a great week everyone!
