Workshops, Parades and Graduation

Brian was at Skamania Lodge for a conference on Saturday so Grammy and I took the kids to the Home Depot workshop and then met up with Grandpa to watch the Rose Festival Parade. We loaded up lunch, chairs, blankets, the wagon and took the Max downtown. We decided to get off near Pioneer Square since the parade had already started and hoped to find a place near the end. We lucked out! Front row, in the sun, by the announcer and bathrooms! Couldn't have planned it better. The kids had so much fun watching the parade. Isaiah boogied down to the drums and Ashley was in awe of the Rodeo Princesses and horses and even spotted her teacher in the parade. We got back with plenty of time for Isaiah to take a late nap and then we all headed to Lucas' graduation at the Memorial Coliseum. It brought back so many memories of my high school graduation, but I was disappointed that I didn't recognize any of the teachers. It doesn't feel like it was that long ago. Time passes way too quickly. On Sunday our neighbors had an open house for their graduate and afterwards we headed to Bonnie and Al's for a BBQ to celebrate Lucas' graduation.
