We've been having fun walking everywhere lately now that the weather has been nice (well, last week anyway), and there were some pretty cool things going on over at the Gateway last week! The Gateway always has cool seasonal decorations, and they just recently put up some new stuff in the sitting area over there. They hung a bunch of hexagonal pieces of plexiglass overhead, and when the sun shines on them, they cast colorful hexagons on the ground. We all had fun stepping under the different colors to see the colors on ourselves! One of the other days when we walked over to the Gateway last week, they had some special event going on at the Olympic Plaza. It was related to Lego, but we're still not sure what it actually was for... but we still had fun, anyway! They had a screen set up, and each person took turns dancing in front of the screen as it created a video of them dancing with some whimsical looking llamas. Now... photo dump! Everyone had a blast dancing and loved seeing themselves on the screen! We definitely lucked out, because every time we've been back to the Gateway since, it hasn't been there- it must have been a flash promotion for just one day. We hope you're all doing well and having fun, even with this gloomy spring weather. Happy weekend!

Well, between the nicer weather and more people coming back to the program, things are looking up! We had a jam-packed week full of fun activities, and have a bigger program than we've had in over a year! With the nice weather, we went for so many walks this week, and we were all soaking up the sun as much as we could. On Wednesday, we took an extra long walk over to the Triad Plaza, and then down to the Crane Building. On the way, we stopped to look at some statues at the Vivint Arena of Karl Malone and John Stockton. We noticed that around the statues, they had Karl Malone's footprints, so we all took turns standing on them to see how our feet measured up. Today, we had one of our fullest Hapkido class that we'd had in awhile, and everyone did so well! A lot of our students had a really long break from Hapkido during the pandemic, which left a lot of time to forget things. Now that we're back in the swing of things, it's all started to come back, and today was one of the best classes we've had in awhile! People were remembering their forms, they executed them well, and took correction from their black belt instructors as needed. Great job everyone!
