Pembroke Pines, Florida 01-16-10

It's another speed skate meet for Little Mike.  This meet is outdoors and on concrete.
Big Mike gets Little Mike ready to race.
A few warm up laps for starters.
These events are always a family affair.  Mike is holding the newest member of the family, Ryan.
Emily and Ryan share a blanket and a few moments together.
Little Mike is getting some pre-race counsel from his coach, Lee.
Looks like Dillan got into some dirt...as usual.
Mike, Ryan and Lynda anticipate the start of a race.
Lynda gets some quality time with her granddaughter, Emily.
The race is about to start.
Little Mike is about to overtake a competitor.
That Ryan is a hand-full.
Papa seems to be enjoying himself.
Sometimes it can get boring between races, so Hannah does the appropriate activity while taking care of Ryan, she reads a book.
The last race for Little Mike for the day and he is doing really well.
The problem was, he was going so fast, he couldn't keep his balance.
Lee helping Little Mike after a nasty fall.
A little post-race pep talk from father and coach.  Little Mike rebounded the next day to do much better.

He looks so professional in his skating uniform. Love the pictures of "Papa Hunter" and Hannah multi-tasking. :)
