Ryan's Graduation

Last weekend my parents were in town and on Friday we Steve and I took work off to go to my nephew Ryan's high school graduation (Go Woodside High School!). I was impressed that a school with Halloween type colors totally embraced them. Long silky orange robes for the guys? Heck yes! Here's the proud family (Linda, Ryan, Jim & Ethan).
It was fun being in the bleachers...it made me feel like I was in an episode of Friday Night Lights.
When I graduated from high school I don't think my friends and I were so...um...ahem...mature. After the ceremony I felt like this about some of the graduating girls dresses that were unveiled when they unzipped their robes.
Linda threw an amazingly fun and delicious luncheon afterwards with friends and family.

Ryan is going to UCSC this fall to study mechanical engineering. As a UC alum, I'm super excited he's decided to go there...go banana slugs!

Here's my cute mom and dad enjoying some tasty treats.

Steve was taking a nap about 5 minutes after this picture was taken.

Here's Ryan...someone gave him that tie-dyed shirt as a joke. He's kind of a hybrid right now. Part suburban-city-skater-extreme-sport kid...soon to be a granola-loving, surfing santa cruz hippie. Congratulations Ryan!!!
