"Battle In Seattle" - 3/17/11 through 3/20/11

I was lucky enough to accompany Dustin, June, Fyn and Pax to Fyn's speedmeet in Federal Way, WA this past weekend! It was tiring but I wouldn't trade it for the world! Let's just say I am the luckiest Aunt in the world to be able to go and do these things!!!
The trip down went great, to much excitement in the air for any of us to sleep much! Dus and June were afraid of how Pax was going to do and to all of our amazement he did absolutely great!!! I don't think he cried once on the way down!!!
We were all pretty hungry by the time we got to town so we stopped at DQ and enjoyed lunch then the kids enjoyed some ice cream before headed to the house we stayed at!

Once we got settled at where we were staying it was time to hit the rink for Fyn's first practice! She did great and got to see some of her competition! That night we were lucky enough to stay and watch the NSC pro skaters - wow they were so fast in speeds upwards of 45 mph, on skates that's insane!!! Fyn loved it she got to give most of the competitors high five and she even included Pax and let him high five some of them! She's the best big sister ever!!! After it was all over she got to have a lot of the skaters sign her sweatshirt!!!

Friday it rained and rained but we still had fun! We spent most of the day at the rink! Pax loved his ride through the rain on sisters skate bag lol The kids did great in there relay and got 2nd place they were all very excited!!! We hit Red Robin for dinner with everybody from the team it was a pretty quiet dinner as everybody was exhausted!

Fyn skated her little heart out on Saturday and qualified for both her finals and placed 3rd in one and 5th in the other which got her to the main final on Sunday! We got out of there pretty early so we headed to lunch with the crew then off to Seattle we went! We had a blast other than it taking 45 minutes to go 3 blocks downtown Seattle. We went and saw all the "interestin" people at Pikes Market and saw them throwing the fish! Then headed to dinner with some of the friends they have met through Speed Skating! Once we got done we were all extremely exhausted and headed back to where were staying as Sunday was going to be an early day as well!

Sunday Fyn did great!!! She ended up 5th overall and I couldn't be more proud!!! We were able to head home around 12 (noon) and boy was I ready to get home and see my baby boy!!! Hit some snow, wind and rain on the way home but Dus was a great driver and got us home safe and sound!!!

Thanks again guys for bringing me along I had a blast and can't wait to do it again!!!
