Jessica’s High School Graduation

Jessica graduated from High School!

Jess’s graduation weekend started on Friday night. We took her out to eat at Olive Garden (her pick!) to celebrate her graduation and her birthday!

After dinner we  went to Stephanie + Larry’s new house and met their puppy, Hela!

I stayed over at Jill’s house with Jill and mom and dad stayed over at Dick’s house with him. That way we all had a bed to sleep in!

Like Stephanie’s graduation, Jessica’s was at Miller Park….. or American Family Field, as it’s actually known.

Graduation program and tickets.

After the ceremony we all met up outside.

We also met Chorizo and the other Racing Sausages!

Jess went to lunch with her mom + family. The rest of us went to lunch at City Lights Brewing.

Stephanie’s graduation party was one week after her graduation ceremony. This time Dallas and Makai joined me to help celebrate. Richard and Amanda rented out a small building at Abendschein Park and it had a kitchen and bathrooms. Perfect facilities for party. The park seems well known for its baseball diamond and disc golf course and skate park. We stayed in the grassy areas where my brother had set up bags and a volleyball net.

There were a good mix of Stephanie’s friends and family at the party. It was nice to see everyone and to drink some good drinks and eat some good food. I still can’t believe Stephanie will be a college student in a couple months (weeks?).
