This was the day when Mikayla had her State Gymnastics meet in Bellevue at the same time she and Alexia were supposed to be at the 4-H sponsored Dog Caper in Monroe.
The agenda to get everyone, and everydog, where they needed to be was complicated.
Tanya picked up Mikayla from school in the afternoon and they headed directly down to Bellevue to prep for the meet.
It was my job to be in Bellevue as soon as possible after I finished getting Alexia & both dogs settled at the 4H event in Monroe, with hopes that I wouldn't miss much of Mikayla's performance.
Tanya promised to get some pics from the warm-ups while awaiting my arrival.
My ultimate arrival in Sammamish High School in Bellevue was right on the mark to see her perform all four routines, documented forever in the below video (it's only two minutes, you can handle it!).
We are very proud of her.
Moments later, Tanya's phone rang with unexpected news from the 4H event that shifted the focus from Mikayla to Alexia. The caller alerted us that Alexia was currently choking on a piece of hard candy. Tanya ordered them to call 911 while I darted back to the car for the fastest drive ever between Bellevue and Monroe.
Tanya stayed behind to get Mikayla. A short while later we received news that Alexia was breathing and was en-route to the hospital. Since I was already on my way and the critical situation seemed to be under control, Tanya let Mikayla go through the awards ceremony and captured a few final pics before coming to Alexia & I at the Monroe ER.
Nice Job Mikayla! We're very proud of you!
More about Alexia's evening and the weekend-long 4-H event will be coming shortly.
