Pirates of Penzance

March has been a big month for Bradley!
He has definitely been busy with "Pirates of Penzance."
Add school, scouts and wrestling to that and he is one busy boy.
Hillcrest Junior High always does a great job with their plays.
This year has been no exception.
Brad is in the Pirate Chorus.
He was selected by the costume committee
to wear just a vest and no shirt.
The teacher/director announced that
those not wearing shirts needed a little more color -
or in other words, Lilly White Brad needed a "tan."
We started Saturday using a tanning lotion and
Brad has turned a very nice orange color!

Ben and his friend Valerie came to see the Play too!

Wrestle Mania!

Bradley started Murray Wrestling Camp about 2 weeks ago.
Last night was his first meet and Brad won both his matches.
Brad was a little nervous before he started because both the boys
that he wrestled had been doing it for years.
We have decided that Bradley is one strong dude!
