In What Country???

Braden and his two friends, Kendall and Trevor, were the top three in their class geography bee. They got to go on to the school geography bee. There was 4th, 5th, and 6th graders in the school contest. Last Friday the were given a packet to practice over the weekend and the contest was Monday. He was so nervous all week-end. He didn't want to say something wrong. So he studied all week-end. The contest came and he answered his first three questions right. Those were off the packet he studied. So he made it to the top 9 in the school. Now the tricky part came. New questions not in the packet he studied. He did very well and made it to the Top two. Those two went on for quite some time before Braden finally answered one wrong the other kid got right. So he took second. We were so happy with him. I was so surprised how much he knew. I guess the globe Santa brought him a few years back paid off. WAY TO GO BRADEN. MR SMARTIE PANTS!
