STATE MATH COUNTS CONTEST IN LINCOLN
We took the boys out of school on Friday the 16th to drive the 6 1/2 hours to Lincoln. We had a fun trip and were able to see many things during the day. It was extremely warm when we arrived in Lincoln, 85 degrees, absolutely beautiful. The picture above is taken on the University of Nebraska at Lincoln campus. It was wonderful to see the tulip trees in bloom.
On Saturday, March 17th was the contest for Daniel. He was chosen to go by his math teacher to participate in the county contest and won 2nd at the Western Nebraska Community College campus a few weeks earlier. The day of the contest in Lincoln was fairly cold. He was glad that he brought his coat.
When the contest was over, Daniel placed 42nd out of 78 contestants throughout the state. We went and got some ice cream on campus, they do not have anything on AGGIE ice cream. We decided to drive all the way home that afternoon. We arrived home at 10pm and enjoyed our time away. It's wonderful to be able to take a family trip like this one and have the school and math counts pay for 95% of the trip. Way to go Daniel!!!
