A little break and time to dry off.

Every time they moved to a new spot Maddie held her teachers hand.. we love that teacher, gonna miss her TONS!

She thought it was pretty funny!

Maddie was excited to have Nathan help her side! We WON!!

Malia was pooped after all of that and just melted onto Daddys shoulder on the walk to the car.. it was so sweet!

Ok now for the hero part! Kaden came home and let us know he broke up a fight and took a punch to the head because of it. First off I was like WHAT but then I was just really impressed with him. Heres what happened..

Kaden was walking to his class and saw a kid just beating the crap out of some poor kid on the ground bawling. So Kaden ran up pushed him off and said to knock it off.. the kid swung at Kaden and hit his head, I dont know if it was adrenaline or a crappy punch but it didnt phase him and he told him again to stop and the kid took off. Kaden asked if the boy was ok and he ran to the bathroom. Turns out he got kicked in his umm boy parts by this boy and then the boy just started pounding on him because of his race seemingly. Kaden made sure he told his teacher and he will be going to the office on Monday to talk about what happened. The boy that got beat up came to class about 10 minutes late and had obviously been crying, but looked at Kaden with thanks.

It made Kaden feel good and I think he was surprised and proud of himself.

I watched a "What would you do?" on 20/20 where they watched how people act when coming upon something like this. MOST people walk by, only confident brave people are willing to say or do something. Most people will walk by, and then other people wont interfere but will find help.. which is good too. I am SO DANG PROUD of Kaden for stepping up and helping this boy with out a second thought. Really really proud of him!!
