We had a fun time going to Arizona this past weekend for the Sunkist International Open. It was Daddy's first wrestling tournament for a long time. We enjoyed cheering him on and staying with our brother, David and his family. We were so happy that Mom Hunter came along to support us and see family too. We really appreciate all of her help. Arizona was quite the adventure...
We all though the cacti were really awesome. Preston was especially excited when he saw big ones like these (he was actually asleep for this cool hill). The ride there and back was about ten hours too long, but we made it!
Preston with daddy. He got to wear a singlet, just like dad so he could wrestle too. They had a lot of fun wrestling on the mat. Preston helped daddy warm up for his matches.
Eva not wanting to pose for a picture, but she was there!
Daddy won! He took 2nd place at the Sunkist Kids International Tournament. He worked so hard and we are so proud of him. Preston and Eva thought his little Kachina doll trophy was awesome! He also won $500. We are totally amazed by him! We love you daddy!
Here we all are at the tournament with the Kachina doll trophy. This was Daddy's first tournament after seven years of not wrestling. This win really was amazing!Here are the official results:
