Well, we certainly had a fun time in Ames last weekend! Maddie and Christian [finally] graduated from Iowa State University each with a degree from the College of Design.
On Friday, we all met at The Cafe for a late dinner and drinks. And boy were they needed! The following day, Maddie and Christian had two graduation ceremonies. One for the College of Design and one for ISU as a whole.
Here Maddie is receiving her fake diploma from the College of Design. Sorry CKE - the photo I have of you is totally blurry!
The College of Design ceremony was by far the most interesting/entertaining! It even had its own fire drill!
We were all surprised by a call from Ikey right before Maddie and CKE had to be at the ISU graduation ceremony. Maddie, Mom and I all tried to sneak in a few moments talking to him before: Maddie had to rush to her ceremony, and Mom, Roger, Gma & Gpa had to head back to the TC to catch their flight to England...lucky ducks!
After the ISU ceremony, all of us, including CKE's family headed out to a park for a BBQ! Quite frankly, this was probably one of the most interesting BBQs I have ever been to with a family I hardly knew...
Nic and I ended the night pretending to be in college again...
Fun Fun Times!
