Stiftungfest 09

We went to watch a dance recital of some of our friends, and all the kids were invited to come up and dance at the finale. Kendall and Sawyer both went up, but as soon as Sawyer saw the crowd, he came back to sit with me, but Kendall stayed up and danced the finale with them.

Rides at Stiftungfest

Kendall and her dancing friends on the "Tornado" She tells me she will ride this ride all the time.

Karate awards

Kendall passed her first Karate basics test and got the award for 100% effort, which the teacher said she doesn't give out very often, but she was impressed with how Kendall always tried her best and smiled the entire class. We were so proud!
