Saturday my oldest was involved in the Regional Wade Edwards Mock Trial Competition. It was to be held at the High Point Courthouse. She had to leave at 8 am. I arrived by 10 for the first competition. It was an easy victory for the first round. Our team was very good and experienced. We broke for lunch at 12:30 then had to be back in court by 2 for round two. This was a little harder. Both teams were good and it was a close call as to who won. But amazingly, WE WON! So now was 5 pm and the team had to prepare for the final round K. burst into tears because she was shocked they won and she did not really want to do it again. IT had already been a long day. But she rallied and really shined in the final trial. Her cross examinations and closing argument were awesome! The other team (besides wearing hooker heels they could NOT walk in ) was really good too and had won last year. It was a tough competition but at 7 pm the judge awarded our team with the "best attorney" and "best witness". We thought we had won but they gave the victory to the other team. Unbelievable! They said they had never seen the losing team get both best attorney and best witness but lose. Oh well, it was very exciting and a fun day, but very L O N G.
