Super Spellers

The spelling bees this year were a big deal. We both decided we wanted to do well, so we actually studied and practiced the list.
Mom and Dad said they were most proud that we worked hard, and that we were brave on stage in front of all those people.
These kids got all the way up to fifth grade words!
And they were giggling at Ryan's casual confidence, with his hands in his pockets.
It reminded them of a high schooler who had the honor of meeting a former president, with his casual confident hand in his pocket. 
The fifth grade bee was no joke. These kids are wicked smart spellers!
The funny part was my first word was the same word Ryan got out on in his bee: "stylish".
I made it to the final 3, getting out on "diabolical".
Mom and Dad were so proud because they knew how hard I worked for this.
The top 2 spellers were incredible- they broke a record going 40 rounds in their never-ending sudden death match at the end. They went way off the list, past the 8th grade words!
