Tickets were required for entrance to Pumpkin's graduation. We decided to go early to save seats. As we were headed out the door, Pumpkin tells us that he has to turn in his gown before he sees us again. We needed to take family photos BEFORE. The Big Guy was still in his shorts and tshirt.
So, my SIL snapped this one before we walked in to save seats.
Traffic was heavy as you would expect with 472 graduates. The Big Guy got there with a few minutes to spare. I snagged him and we ran over to where Pumpkin was lined up. He got to get in the special line as he sang the National Anthem.
His lovely counselor snapped a picture for us. We got one with his cap and gown on! We are standing on a ramp that sloped down in my direction. I am not that short!!
Then, he did his thing and sang the national anthem. He did not look took nervous. Earlier in the day, my stomach flipped just thinking of him singing. In the moment, I was just grinning from ear to ear.
It took some time, but we were finally able to find him after graduation. It was so hot! They did a nice job. The entire ceremony took less than an hour.
Family and friends joined us for dinner. It was a wonderful evening. It is still kind of surreal to have a son that is a high school graduate!!
