Travis had
been looking up different tournaments for the boys (especially Hunter) so that
they could get some mat time and some more experience and more wins (Hunter) to
build confidence. There were 2 parts to
that tournament a regular tournament with all kids and then one that was “True
Beginners” (wrestlers that have only been wrestling 2 years or less). Both Dallin and Hunter took 1st
place in the true beginner tournament.
In the regular tournament Dallin wrestled 4-5 times all very hard
matches (against 2nd graders) , he rivaled all 3 rounds each time
but ended up only winning 3 matches and losing 2. He was not happy, but it was good experience
for him. Hunter lost both of his matches
in the regular tournament, but not because he got pinned….he held his own all
the way to the end. He has made such
amazing progress. They are both really
fun to watch wrestle.
Trish and
Matthew came and brought their girls. Matthew helped coach Dallin and
Hunter. The kids swam at the hotel, we
ate at golden corral and we went to the Salt Lake Temple on the last night of
their “Christmas Lights” display…they loved it.
Saturday after the tournament, we took them to the aquarium and spent
some time looking at the sharks and the other aquatic life. They seemed to enjoy that as well.
