AFA Graduation

Well, it's official! Today we celebrated our first graduate from the Air Force Academy. Our day started early, we were at the stadium at 8:30am. Graduation started at 10am, but the wanted everyone in the stadium by 9am. The last few days we have had really cold, rainy, and overcast weather so we were worried how today would be. But the rains stayed away all day and they look like they are just starting to move in now, at 9pm at night.

Joe Biden came to town to speak at the graduation. The speech was pretty boring. He kind of droned on and on about stuff. He had some good stuff, like when the telepromter blew over. He was able to make an on the fly joke about Obama being mad. But other than that, it was pretty much boring.

John (our cadet) was in squadon 38 (out of 40), so we had to wait until very close to the end! There were 1046 in the graduating class today. It was a long wait to get to cheer for John.

The performance by the Thunderbirds was awesome! I got some videos, you can find them on our website. Hubby also took lots of pictures, you can find them on our website too. I am just too tired to try to post any here tonight.

This morning before we left, I was telling Kasey to quit squirming so I could get her dressed. Courtney came over and told me "Mom, she can't control her legs". That made us chuckle. We are always telling her that Kasey has to learn how to control her arms and legs.

We left the girls at home with a babysitter. I got sunburned on my arm, even though I was wearing sunscreen! And I am worn out! I am off to bed!
