Here are some additional pictures from Blake's graduation weekend. Everyone had a great time gathering at the Halverson home in Oakwood for a BBQ on Sunday. Thank you to Wendy & Kent for providing such a good meal! We ate, chatted and played games... ping pong, badminton, street hockey and some pretty competitive croquet. Then a few of us attended the Baccalaureate service at Westminster Presbyterian Church, which was very nice. We thought the sermon was really good, but when we talked to Blake about it afterwards, all he could rememeber hearing was the last sentence -- "get out there and raise heaven!"On Monday, most of us went to visit the National Air Force Museum in Dayton, which was amazing. It is the world's largest military aviation museum with over "400 aerospace vehicles and exhibits that bring history to life and connect the Wright brothers' legacy with today's stealth and precision technology." If you ever have the chance to visit, you should. Otherwise, check out the website!
Then came the graduation ceremony on Monday evening at the Schuster Center in downtown Dayton. Blake had 20 family members attend the cermony... his two immediate families, both sets of grandparents, an aunt & uncle and 4 cousins! When it came time for him to receive his diploma, I think we were one of the loudest families applauding!
Even though we were there for 3 1/2 days, it seems like we didn't see Blake that much. He was busy attending pre and post-graduation parties and enjoying his last couple weeks in Dayton with his friends. Roger flew up on June 23 and then drove back to Florida with Blake in his car containing all his possessions. He's staying at our house until he can move into his apartment on August 22. Classes at UCF start August 25... summer will fly by!!!
