The boys were in their school Geography Bee today. Both were nervous, as we had no idea what to expect. 
Ben ended up placing second, and Ty was in a tie-breaker for third that took 4 rounds of questioning to break! Unfortunately he ultimately came in fourth - but he is already planning his studying strategies for next year!
The bee was part of National Geographic's national Geography Bee - the winner from our school competes now to be in the state bee, and the winner of that goes to the national bee.
It was a fun experience!

Good on ya, Ben and Ty! I was a spelling bee champ, but I think geography bee would be much harder--did you guys study in advance? I'll be seeing you on Jeopardy someday!
Wow! Good for you guys! Great job.
I know the girl in braids. She is in Lili's dance class.
You know, her mom said something about Irish dance and I wondered - was going to ask but just then the bee started and I didn't get a chance.
Small world!
