Tracy's Graduation!

He did it! He officially finished his Master's degree. The day of graduation we took our guests to the downtown farmer's market and then to lunch at our favorite sandwich shop down town. Then we parted our ways to get ready for the reception that the geology department was having prior to the actual ceremony. The graduation was very long. The grad-school graduates walked the stage first so Tracy was done with his within the first hour of the ceremony. Then there was about another hour of under graduates. James and I escaped and played on the lawn by the bell tower for the last half hour, but he did do well for most of it. He just got really bored and whinny which didn't surprise me. He had started off the evening whinny.

Again, most of these were taken by Sam.

At the geology department reception they had rocks as centerpieces.

There were also these signs for each graduate.
This one was my favorite. :)

I'm a little sad we never got any pictures with Tracy in his cap and gown.

Enjoying some yummy food.

My sad attempt at taking a picture with my phone of the big screen while Tracy walked the stage.

Good thing Sam had a much better camera and got pictures of the real thing and not of the big screen.

I'm so proud of Tracy.
It took a lot of work the past two years to complete this degree.

James was much happier playing by the bell tower during the last half hour of the ceremony.
