So all summer long hubby and I have been telling ourselves we would NOT be going to Aberdeen for the State Championship BMX races. Multiple reasons including the boys just do it for fun and all the other kids were better, money, time-yada yada. Long story short we go-with hubby kicking and screaming at first:)
Not only do the boys hold their own they surprised us in more ways then one. A's competition was stiff-just as it was here. He didn't make it to the final race Saturday-and had a scary moment where he went up and over the side of the course but did make it Sunday with a last place finish and excited to make it to the main race. When I gave him some sympathy the first day he says, "It's ok mom, it's all about the fun anyway". Gotta love the laid back one
Q's weekend was a litte different. He is turning out to be more COMPETITIVE then we thought and actually pretty good. The first race he makes it to the final and then is in FIRST and hauling ass and FALLS and doesn't finish. The second day he races all 7 year olds and ends up flying into the main race. He starts in 5th place and moves into third, tries to pass someone and ends up going off the jump and off the course-automatic last place. He finished the race and doesn't even know it. I (the competitor at heart) am devastated so are the other Rapid Citians there. He apologizes to his big brother for not getting the big trophy to add to their collection and starts to think of next years trip.
It was our last summer hurrah and well worth it.

Hey! I found another blogger writing! most people are still gone, and I am little lonely for some conversation. Glad to see the boys having such a great time out there! They really have great attitudes, and that I would say is because of their great parents!
