Spelling Bee

Both Emma and Kenzie got to represent their classes in the school Spelling Bee this year. It was fun to watch them study together and encourage each other. There were about 35 participants this year, and Emma lasted about halfway. She missed the word "permanent," spelling it "-ant." She was disappointed because she had studied that word, but nerves got the better of her. Kenzie ended up tied for third place and was very excited. She missed the word "prestigious," spelling it "-eous." The word she got in the previous round was "utilitarian" and all the kids in the audience gasped when they heard it. I guess it sounds like a hard word, but Kenz aced it. We're so proud of both those cute girls!

What a great looking family. Great job on the bee, girls! It can be nerve-wracking, so I'm impressed.
