C-L-E-M-S-O-----N!

Graduation! It's finally time!congratulations Daddy! We are so SO proud of you!


On Thursday we picked Nathan up from school and drove the 2 hours up to Clemson. Back in February we booked a hotel room. After a lot of looking, we found one under $100. Well... There was a reason it was under $100. Yuck! To stay out of the room as much as possible, we went out on a recon mission. We found the Little John Coliseum where graduation was to be held and the VIP parking we got (for donating to the Senior project). Then we decided to get pizza so we went to Peppino's for some yummy dinner. By the time we finished, it was time for the kids to go to bed so we headed back to the hotel but swung by Walmart first. After getting febreeze and air freshner we went back to the hotel. We doused the room and went to sleep for the night. 
In the morning, daddy went to check in and grandma Rygmyr stayed to help me get the kids ready. We got to the coliseum without any problems and found a seat. Not long after that the graduates walked in! 
The graduation started by inaugurating the schools 15th president, Dr. James Clements. Following his address to the graduates it was time for the graduates walk. First were the PhD graduates, then the Masters. When they said David's name, Nathan yelled "yay daddy" it was really cute. After about 800 (I actually don't know the real number but it seemed like a million)  baccalaureate it was over. 
Daddy found us really quickly in the sea of people. We took some pictures then went to the Hendrix student center. The boys had a great time playing with everything "tiger paw" before we had to head back home. It was a really great day, and like I said, we are so SO proud!

Thx for the picture suggestion. I will do just that. Mostly because I want to be just like you! ;)
And Isaac had beef ribs on his plate. Since you pointed it out it does look disgusting.
