My Baby is a STAR on Skates!

This weekend we traveled to Duluth for Teagan's first ever out-of-town skating competition. We left the frozen tundra of the Twin Cities and drove straight north. The temp fell from -3 to -11 by the time we arrived at the Inn on Lake Superior. You couldn't ask for a better weekend to be indoors and watching a winter sport. Really, I mean this with all my heart! :)

First things first, a gift and a door sign from her Secret Skater - who could it be?!

Then we were off to the rink to watch the other skaters. It was so fun to sit in the crowd and cheer on the other skaters and then out of your seats and off to the other rink for more events.

Finally, on Saturday morning it was Teagan's turn to skate in her Freeskate event. She did an AMAZING job. Her goal was to NOT FALL and she didn't fall; in fact, she made it look so incredibly easy! She was rewarded with a 4th place medal for her amazing routine!

Her cheering squad was so proud of her, as was her coach - the one and only FANCY NANCY!

Teagan didn't know her grandparents were in town until after her event and she was SO excited! For the rest of our Saturday we went to The Edge waterpark hotel and celebrated Nolan's birthday. It was a good (and warm) break from the DECC and Amsoil arenas. We had so much fun!

On Sunday morning Teagan had her second and final event - Compulsory. She rocked that event and placed 3rd!! On the podium she goes!!

It was a fun and very successful weekend! I am so proud of my ice dancing princess!! She's a rock star beyond belief with the hardware to prove it!
