The MidWest Regionals (as all the yo-yo world refers to this competition) was once again held at Mall of America in Minneapolis, so we couldn't resist the opportunity to go (and see the Bains as well!).
It was a really fun venue because the stage was right in the rotunda with 4 levels of balconies surrounding it. The bystanders and shoppers were fun to watch as their jaws dropped watching some of the tricks going on on stage!
Colsen was so excited to participate this year, and his big goal was to make the Finals. Over 30 people competed in the "Prelims" and only 12 advanced... and he was one of them! So, just as in Arizona, he was the youngest of the Finalists.
And, Miles made his yo-yo competition debut, participating in the Sport Ladder event! He showed his several tricks... and then was anxious to get on with exploring the Mall of America. :)
The highlight of his day was doing a big zip line from the very top of the building all the way across to where I couldn't even see him anymore. (The M of A is quite big in case you didn't know.)
So it was VERY fun day, to say the least. Probably one of Colsen's best days ever.
