State Bible Drill Weekend

Ivory is clearing the bottom bookshelf and tasting the books in my bedroom as I type. She is quite the little explorer today! So, I must be hasty in posting pics of this past weekend! ... Couldn't finish yesterday...trying again, this time while she's napping!
Waiting for the Youth Drill to begin.
9th Grade Competitors (L to R): Stephen, Lyndsey, Austin
Fan club! Alex, Jason, Aliya, Randy (Aliya & Randy were 10th grade High School drillers), Josh
Aliya's parents, Rey & Melinda, came to cheer her on!
Rey was a big help with driving.

Ally came to cheer them on as well, and because she wanted to be with me, of course! ;-)
Ally with her crazy Uncle Jason.

Youth competitors. The girl holding the microphone was the State Youth Bible Drill winner from last year. She's from our neck of the woods in DeFuniak Springs.
Stats:
Austin: 23/25 correct
Lyndsey: 25/25 correct
Stephen: 24/25 correct

Lyndsey made into the final round with the top 12 Youth finalists.
This girl can find her some Scripture now! She only missed one call in the final round.
These kids are amazingly skilled with a Bible and Scripture memorization. A truly incredible sight to behold. The guy on the far left won for the whole state and will be representing Florida in Lousiana for nationals.
Oh, and did I mention this was Lyndsey's FIRST YEAR?!
Aliya poses as first runner up with the state winner, Stephen. She did an INCREDIBLE job! This is her 3rd year (1st in the high school round) and she came in close second to this 9 yr, former state winner, senior. In fact, she was even faster then him, but she missed one call so she placed 2nd. Way to go, Aliya! If anything happens to Stephen she'll be our competitor at nationals.
The motley crew.
Crazy pic!
Lyndsey's parents, Donna & Buddy, came to cheer her on.
