Promotions

It was a weekend of promotions for JD.  He earned a new martial arts belt.  This one is white with a yellow stripe

 The martial arts studio we go to is owned by a husband and wife team.  Here the husband takes off his old belt.

 The wife puts on his new belt.  Although both instructors are black belts the wife is actually a higher rank than her husband.  HOORAY for women.

 Here is the entire group of promotions.  We especially like Oscar (the adult seated closest to JD).  He is the one who ends up doing most of the actual hands on teaching with the youngest children.

 We also go in a cub scout promotion at the Blue and Gold banquet.  Here JD plays with his buddies while waiting for the program to begin.

 Our cub master channeled his inner knight and helped perform the ceremony.

 JD was awarded his wolf badge and was promoted to bear.

WOW - that is one tall knight.
