Then the quiz master said "Paddles up!" and the kids had to lift the paddle with their answer choice. Julia got every answer right! Yippee! The speed round was next, where the kids had to hold little buzzer wands. She answered two for that round: one correct, one incorrect. The incorrect answer was a long verse from I think Deuteronomy that I do not know! She ended up adding one word for her final answer. The verses have to be word-perfect, so that answer lost some points. (Though I never did figure out how the answers were scored, several people said incorrect count as negative points.) After all the book levels had finished quizzing, the awards were announced. Julia ended up receiving the Quiz Champion title and ribbon! I was so surprised, as I think she was too! She earned this award for having the most correct answers for her level (Book 3).
And, Kallie, Keeley and Julia also were the 1st place team for Book 3. They were all smiles, and so excited. They were teammates 2 years ago. Last year Julia decided to not do Quiz. She said all three of them want to quiz together next year. :) She has known Kallie since their nursery days, and Keeley since Cubbies, I think 4 yrs old. Their coach is the other young lady, Emmie. Good job, girls!
Brian came with the three younger kids about 12:30. Austin was doing Sparks-A-Rama in the afternoon. I took the little girls back home for naps. Brian and Julia stayed to cheer on Austin and the Sparkies! Awww..., look at that cute little boy peeking at Daddy.
I am so glad Brian took pictures and video-recorded Austin competing. It was fun to watch. There were crawling games.
Relay games, running games, and balloon volleyball (?) games. The kids played hard and were serious about doing their best! Austin's team ended up earning 2nd place! Good job, Sparkies!
The Sparkies got their ribbons handed out at club on Tuesday night. I still need to get a picture of Austin with his award. Here is the team from our church. So cute!!
When Julia's T&T game leader saw she was there (to watch Austin play), the leader asked Julia if she'd be willing to join their games team. There was a church from Paso Robles who came to compete but didn't have enough teammates. There has to be 10, and I think they had 8, so 2 of our girls went over to their team. That church competed on a different circle than our team, so Julia never competed directly against her own church. I thought she actually played for both teams, but it seems she played for the PR team. Yet she earned two awards--2nd place w/ the PR team, and a 1st place for being part of our church's team. She came home w/ quite the assortment of ribbons and medals!
You see Julia's pink boots above? She would have worn sneakers had she known she would be competing in games as well as quiz! ;) The funny thing was, the lady in charge wouldn't let her run in her boots, for her own safety, so another girl shared her sneakers w/ Julia. They were constantly switching shoes during the running games! The best thing about doing her doing games, is, she learned it was fun. Typically games have not been her favorite part of Awana, but Julia had such a good time this day, that she said she wants to do games again next year!
Austin had fun also. Next year he'll be in T&T, and says he wants to do Awana games then too!
He got hungry and a little bored waiting for Julia to be done competing, so Brian bought him a hotdog and chips from the concession stand. That helped cheer him up. :)
