Graduation was on Father's Day, so it was quite a day of celebration! We were up early and needed to be completely packed, dressed and out of the beach house by 8:30 that morning. We managed quite well considering there were 10 of us, 4 kids included. We parked and got into the stadium and secured 20 chairs in the back two rows down on the field. This turned out to be great. The kids (and adults!) could roam around a bit during the ceremony without disturbing anyone.
It's a good Father's Day when you actually get to spend it with your Dad! All four of us were together to celebrate our Dad this year! What a guy he is. Hard working, loving, supportive and encouraging. An added bonus for him this year was to have his youngest child graduate from college. I think Aly got the prize for best gift this year!
My Grandma (mom's mom) pulled my Dad aside after the graduation and was having a little heart to heart. She is so sweet, an amazing woman. Aly is her youngest of 8 grandchildren and she has attended every graduation.
Maggie seems a little confused about what is going on.
Tio, always ready for a picture!
Following the large graduation, we went to the College of Agriculture ceremony where Aly got to cross the stage. There was much rejoicing from our rowdy group of 20 or so!
We now have 5 Cal Poly graduates in our family. Pretty amazing!
So proud of Aly for all that she has accomplished these past years! Thankful to call her my sister and friend. Her joyful smile, tender heart, and humble spirit are truly an inspiration to me!
