Geography Bee

Derek competed in the school geography bee today! There he is in the white shirt. The cute girl in the back row, green shirt was the winner. Congratulations Jenny!
He survived the first 8 questions...and placed 11th out of 26. He was bummed because the top ten people got medals. So close! We are so proud of him anyway! We did learn that Derek is very competitive in academic sports as well as regular sports. I can't imagine where Derek gets his competitiveness.
Derek and the beautiful Josie. Josie and Derek have been great friends since first grade.
