Lon tried out for the Geography Bee again this year. Only this time, he WON the school ! He was one of about 100 or so kids from all over the state going to the capital, Columbia, to compete to go to Nationals. !
The parents waited.
Lon was a runner up, he did not advance to nationals. And we are more than okay with this! SO PROUD of him! The questions he missed were tough. Who is the vice president of Zimbabwe ? The second question was This town on a river (which the proctor could not pronounce) in southern Mexico just recently banned single use plastic bags. If he ever qualifies again we are going to read every National Geographic Magazine from the last two years.
We went to lunch at a great place called Nicks. Everyone got a wonderful meal, Lon had a pizza, Mark got a grinder and I had one of the best gyros ever! Since it was still early and we had the whole day off, we went to the zoo! We had not been to the River Bank Zoo before, it was a lot of fun. Lon was happy with his effort, so it was a good day!
