We are excited to be on Spring Break! The Lake Geneva school district is on vacation until April 6. Then on the 6th, we leave for the Kalahari in Wisconsin Dells until the 8th. We have 4 students competing at State in FCCLA Star Events.
Carter was lined up in the 2nd-3rd grade line.
It was a fun Easter Egg Hunt.......a little on the cold side for me. :-)
Toby spent some time getting pampered on his special day. Petco gave him a shampoo & conditioning bath, hair cut, teeth cleaning and nail trimming. He looked so nice when we picked him up (and he smelled good, too). :-)
Carter ended the wrestling season at the Badger Wrestling Tournament with a 3rd place medal. 
Carter and his friend, Brandan, are warming up while Bradley draws on the side of the mat. 
Carter's first opponent was from Edgerton, which was a good match, but Carter couldn't keep up in points. 
A Badger wrestles a Badger. Carter has to wrestle his teammate, Nick. Nick wins this match with a pin. 
Carter's last opponent was from Burlington, where he ended the season with a pin. It was a good way to end the season! 
Grandpa Bill & Grandma LaNita came all the way to Lake Geneva to see Carter wrestle! We had a fun time going out to eat Friday night. Thanks for coming to cheer Carter on. 
In all the excitement of wrestling and running to tournaments every weekend, it is a good feeling to have the season come to an end. 
Carter wrestled in the Milton Monster Wrestling Tournament. It was another 8 Man Bracket with Wrestle Backs to 3rd Place. This was the first "Bull's Den" tournament that we've been to. Each wrestler in a bracket is called to the Bull's Den, where they all walk out to the wrestling mat together and stay with each other until everyone finishes wrestling for that round.
Carter's 1st opponent was from Kenosha. It was a tough one for him, as he was wrestling the coaches son. He gave it his all, but couldn't get up and away from him, losing with a score of 15-0.
Carter's 2nd opponent was from Muskego. Carter wrestled very well and won this round with a score of 8-0.
This tournament was the best I've ever seen Carter wrestle. You could see him using many of the wrestling moves that he's learned over the season. The one that he practiced the most was the "Half Nelson". You can see in this picture he is putting the Half Nelson on the Muskego wrestler.
Carter's 3rd opponent was from Fond Du Lac. He again wrestled very well and won this match with a final score of 15-0. He almost had the wrestler pinned many times, but just couldn't hold her down (yes, I said "her"). Anna was a sweet little wrestler (a good little wrestler) :-)
Since Carter won his last two matches, he had a 4th round to where he was wrestling for 3rd place. His 4th opponent was the Kenosha wrestler, the one he lost to in the first round. He was a little bummed out when he found out who he had to wrestle back in the Bull's Den, but I told Carter that he had the same chance of winning as this boy. They both had lost one match and won two matches. 
We attended Carter's Boy Scout's Blue & Gold Banquet on Saturday. It was a nice......long.....event. The little cubs had a good time celebrating together, and they had the opportunity to watch the Webelos 2 crossover. This is when a cub scout crosses over to a boy scout.
The Banquet included a cake contest celebrating the Boy Scout Association (BSA) of 100 years! The cubs all made and decorated a cake for this event. Carter made a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting.
Each den (Tiger, Wolf, Bear and Webelos) performed a skit for everyone. Here, Carter is with his Wolf den.
Carter goes up to receive his "Wolf Totem 3 Beads" for his work in the Wolf den. He will be graduating from a Wolf to a Bear. Jeff & Marie, the first two on the right, are Carter's Den Leaders.
Pictured here is Carter with the Boy Scout Leader.
Carter with his award! We are proud of Carter for his hard work in the Wolf Den and for his accomplishments!
