Lucas Grant: Week 45
This week I was able to attend an out of school tournament in West Sacramento, so here’s a run down of what happened. First I participated in kata, and I tied for first place in my division. A funny thing that happened is the same person I tied for first this year, I tied for first last year at the …

Lucas Grant: Week 43
This week I was able to attend a family weekend at Chico State University to visit my brother! It was super fun to be able to visit him especially because I don’t get to see him very often. My family and I went up to Chico on a Saturday morning, then we took the time we had to walk around …
Lucas Grant: Week 42
This week I finished a book called “Three Budo Masters”. This book gave interesting perspective on 3 different types of martial arts masters in the 18-1900s. The 3 masters this books covered are Jigoro Kano a judo master, Gichin Funakoshi a karate master, and Morihei Ueshiba an Aikido master. Having 3 different masters in one book allowed for 3 different …

Cooper Riegel – Week 21
This week was fun and bittersweet. One of my friends hosted a sleepover for their birthday. We did an escape room and kept our track record of not escaping before the timer. It was a creepy escape room and we managed to solve every puzzle. The only thing was we solved the last one literally one minute past the hour …

The bloom was fantastic and nearly every surface was covered with flowers. We went on the big loop around the mountain which goes past a massive waterfall and around …
