WELS Spelling Bee 2012

Maren and Deacon participated in the WELS Spelling Bee at California Lutheran High School today!

Mommy & Daddy had to split up, as the kids competed at the same time, in different rooms. Mommy forgot to take pics of Deacon, but Maren's competition was well-documented thanks to Daddy!

Maren and her fellow competitors!

Maren spelled her heart out...

FOR 27 ROUNDS...

Wow, she won!! The winning word: TIPTOE.

After nailing such words as AERIAL and CHLOROPHYLL previously, Deacon had a hiccup with HORRID and came in a respectable 4th place among 8 competitors. Later he hung out in the gulch behind the school, daring anyone to take him on in an "unofficial" spelling bee.

Prison break!! An unidentified third speller joins the escapees.


It was a great day, especially since Grammie was able to join us. Congratulations kids!!

"Horrid" is a horrid word to spell! Good job to both stellar spellers!
