Lots More about the Graduate/Graduation

Photo intensive post ahead ... you've been warned. [wink]

posing in front of the school, early morning on Graduation Day

last time entering through those doors!

since parking is a problem in DC, the school arranged (for a fee!)
lots of school buses to take parents and guests to the ceremony
so we availed ourselves of this opportunity

DAR Constitution Hall
all decked out in red and light blue (GCM HS colors)

great seats!  nobody to block the view

in come the graduates, class of 2014
boys are in red
you can't see him from this distance, but son #1
is in the second row, left side, third from the left
because.  alphabetical order

really great graduation speeches!
I was entertained, impressed and really enjoyed
the whole thing.  Not boring at all!

son #1 on deck, about to have his name read

the long walk to the podium
*I may have been a little teary-eyed at this point*
not telling

the quick hand shake
diploma received!

afterwards, at the school
with son's friend and twin sister
all three are class of 2014
the blue and red cords indicate intent to join the service
son is applying for Air Force ROTC

the whole family!
