The past two weeks have been filled with graduation parties, trips, dinners and of course the actual event. Thanks to everyone who sent their well wishes Austin's way.
Last week, I went on a 3 day Senior trip with Austin and his classmates. There were 25 of us. Five were chaperons. We went to St. George, Utah. We enjoyed the sun and the company. It was so great to see the kids together! They love each other so much it is amazing.
On day one, we swam, played basketball, ultimate Frisbee, ate and talked. On day two, we hiked Angel's Landing in Zion's National Park. I did the whole thing until we got to the part you have to pull yourself up on a chain with 1,000 foot drop offs on either side. I did half of that and then enough was enough and my little chicken butt went back to the safe part to nervously wait for my son and the others to come back. They made it and had a great time. That night we went out to dinner, played Steal the Flag and talked.
On day three we had a devotional at the St. George LDS temple, had lunch and custard (ice creams rich, amazing cousin) and then drove home. The kids were wonderful. They all cried the last day and had several group hugs with their teacher smack dab in the middle of the hug. It was an awesome sight. The kids took turns sharing their feeling about the school and their classmates. It was so wonderful.
The group hug!
One of the nights the boys in the class said they were having "Male Bonding" time. They were hilarious. They would run together to the diving board and go off one-after-another. They did the same on the slide. They did synchronized dives off the side. They even did a little synchronized swimming as pictured here. They were great! So cute.
