Sam did a great job this year at the Mastispell spelling bee. He qualified easily for the final (stage) round and did not have any reservations this year about going up on stage. Unfortunately, they had him sitting next to a severely hyperactive boy (#184), who mercifully was removed from stage after spelling his word wrong in the 2nd round.
Sam correctly spelled "fatherly" and "rotund", but went out in the 3rd round on "tyrannosaurus".
It was too late in the day to make his Lacrosse game, so Sam enjoyed staying to the end with Dad to watch the winners determined, and see the awards ceremony. Mom and Pete went off in the early afternoon to his flag football game.
Funny moments from the bee:
- Boy who could not pronounce "anonymous", going back and forth with the pronouncer with "anonymous" / "anomous"
- Indian girl who could not pronounce "effervescent"
