we interrupt this looooong vacation report for the spelling bee

School spelling bee today!

Do you see my boys?

There they are! Sitting side by side, even though Thomas is 6th grade and Spencer is 4th.

Tommy went first,

then Spence.

It was single elimination, and the kids were dropping like flies.

By the fourth round, the two boys were still in, along with four other kids.

Then Tommy made a silly mistake and got eliminated.

Boo!

By the fifth round there were only four kids left, including Spencer (the only 4th grader). Then he also made a silly mistake and was eliminated.

Good try boys!

(Next week Aaron will compete in his school's spelling bee too.)
