The District contest was on October 22nd. All 3 of my kiddos scored high enough to go to Regionals. Molly scored over-all high pointer for our 4-H group. I must say that I'm a very proud mama!! I'm very proud of all 3 of my children for working so hard to make their goals.
After District contest they had to prepare for the Regional contest that took place a week later on Oct. 29th. Let me say, there was a lot of studying was going on in this house and it really paid off. Molly and Carlin will be going to the State Contest in May, which will be held close to Corpus Christi, Texas. Only 4 kids from our District will go, and 2 of them are from my house. If that doesn't make a mama proud!
This is their first year in 4-H Wildlife, all 3 of my kids have done remarkable well for just starting out. Molly had one goal when she started and that was to make it to State. Carlin is excited as well, they make great study buddies. :0) Jake was a little disappointed--but I'm not in the least. That little guy worked so hard and he made it to Regionals which is a great accomplishment when most of the kids he was competing with are all high-school age children. Oh, another thing worth mentioning--none of the kids were to talk to any of the other students while doing the contest. Not one word--now that is a feat in itself.
Oh, I guess I should say that our county placed 2nd in the Regionals. Way to Go!!
Molly and Jake are on the left in the photo. Molly is the tall girl with a jacket tied around her waist and Jake is in a Red and Black checkered shirt.

The little guy on the log is Jake, isn't he a tiny one to be out doing this. Anyway, he is also doing Tree Identification.
Carlin is very hard to get a picture of, anyway he is the blond boy in the background. Molly is to the left and Jake is in the cap.
