Ah, my first time here in AGES.

So it rained all day and we all were confident they would pospone the graduation ceremony as it was being held in the brand new outdoor athletic stadium. Wrongo. We called the school and checked the site and their only advice was, “try to make yourself as comfortable as possible.” So we huffed on over there, the stadium was beautiful…in the pouring rain. And there we sat for over 2 hours , IN THE POURING RAIN, while our son along with all his friends sat in the open without cover, in the pouring rain, and were graduated. The band played on …in the pouring rain without cover too. Of course this had to be the year with multiple Vals. and Sals…Once we were totally chilled to the bone and drenched, and they finally started to hand out the diplomas, the crowd in the stands could be held no longer and started to leave in droves after their child’s name had been called. Ah…a graduation to remember!!!

The high point was indeed the fancy restaurant afterward and the droves of families we knew at all the tables. Although our township high school is too big, our community is small and personable and I can’t tell you how wonderful it was to see Son #4 with all his friends and the families he had grown up with through the years. And what I need to say here is this, for you parents who have this, you have everything and even seeing your kids graduate under these circumstances can be the highlight of the past 12 years!

Have a nice day and nice to see you all again!
