Sabre

Left to Right: Jacobson, Zagunis, and Ward.

Did you catch it? The US Women sweep to capture Gold, Silver and Bronze at the Olympics' Women's Fencing [Sabre] competition! Zagunis who won gold and Ward who won bronze are from my neck of the woods: Beaverton, Oregon.

After months of Solomon asking to learn how to fence, it has come time for him to try it especially when our area has wonderful fencers so I talked to a fellow homeschooler whose son is also taking fencing [possible 2016 Olympics contender] about the local hot spot for fencing so I'll be taking Solomon there to try it out and report back. He was in complete awe of watching the fencing.
