Calan's Graduation

Wow, it really makes me feel older when you have your grandkids graduating. In 2005 we made a trip to Colorado and then California you attend two grandson's graduations. Dustin (Janis' oldest son) was in May that year and Danny (Kim's middle son was in June). We are now back at Janis' for her youngest son, Calan who graduated on Wed. It was at 8:30 am and so we were up early to go and save seats for rest of family. I can remember attending Janis' graduation and it was very stuffy and the kids weren't allowed to have any fun, if they did, no diplomas. Here in Grand Junction, they are all for the kids having fun. They take blow up balls and animals and bounce them around up in the air and after it is all over they are allowed to throw their caps in the air. You won't see that in Cedar Rapids.


From Grand Junction - Calan's Graduation


After the graduation Janis and I worked at getting her house ready for the party. She doesn't like to decorate, so I did that........not much of it, but Calan didn't want much. They had a good turn out and everyone had a good time.

The past 2 weeks we have just been chilling out. We have made many trips here and seen all the sites, so not much else to do. Did get some shopping done and just hung out. Spent today getting the RV ready for travel tomorrow. Took it over and fueled up then to a RV park and dumped the holding tanks. We will be leaving early in the morning. Roger is dreading the drive up over the mountains. I know we will make it just slow and easy. I guess the this will be the last post till we get home. Till then.......Happy Trails

It is unfortunate that many schools take the attitude that graduation is a solemn time and every kid should be somber. What a bunch of nonsense. The kids should be allowed to have fun and make the most out of the occasion. It will only happen one time in their lives.
