Triumph
My daughter Gabrielle won her school’s spelling bee this past week Thursday.
I was in Winnipeg for a quick business trip, but my wife Teresa took pictures and our son Aidan (4) took video.
The really cool thing beyond Gabrielle winning is that she’s in the lowest grade of middle school right now, so she beat out kids not only in grade 6, her grade, but also grades 7 and 8.
Her prize was the Ripley’s Believe it or Not book in her hand, and in March she may go to the regional spelling bee in Vancouver’s Orpheum.
Congratulations, Gabrielle!
