En garde!

Several months ago Skyler mentioned that he wanted to try out the sport of fencing. I didn't even know where to begin finding a place where he could learn fencing, but a couple of months ago while perusing the city's sporting activity booklet I saw fencing classes take place only a couple of miles away. And a new class began that same day! I signed him up and every Saturday afternoon he's been enjoying learning how to fence.

Yesterday was his last day in the beginner class and the beginners jousted with members of the fencing club.

Every time he took off his protective mask, Skyler had a big smile on his face, even after being poked repeatedly. So it's safe to say he enjoys this sport. I signed him up for the intermediate class. If he still likes it after that he can join the fencing club. They meet every Saturday afternoon to practice. It's seems to be a good group of people. It's fun to see Skyler do something that he enjoys (especially that doesn't involve a video or computer game!).
