Birthday party

Casey went to a really fun birthday party this weekend for his friend Nate.

It was a karate party and the kids had a blast. I've always said that someone could really clean up if they could come up with some new ideas for birthday parties.

We met in a gym and the instructor first had the kids to exercises to warm up.

Then he taught the kids some karate moves--kicks and punches. They even got to try nunchuks.

Then the kids each got to do something cool--break a board just like in a real karate class. The boards were small so it didn't take much to break them, but the kids loved it.
