Graduation Night








Graduation Night and Woolstenhulme Farewell Party

The final picture of the cute sisters who have followed their big brothers all across the state watching more basketball games than they could ever count!
 Cado, Landen, Bo, Stan Merrick, Gavin and Jace.
 Hunter loved the Woolstenhulme's soft grass.

The cute moms that have sat beside each other at more basketball games than WE can EVER count!  I'm going to miss that a lot.

Union High Scholarship Night

 Union High scholarship night was very good to Cado.  He got a $10,000 scholarship from Strata and another $1500.00 from the Allred Foundation.  What a great blessing.


A Long Day Flying Home...REALLY LONG!

 We had a long long day flying home.  We were off the ship by ten and had a drive and a six hour wait ahead of us at the airport.
 Hunter was so exhausted when we got in the taxi van that he instantly fell asleep.
 That was about the only time he fell asleep though and the next ten hours were pure torture for him and his parents.  I think they were all very happy to finally hit that Utah soil. 
 It was at that moment though that we realized these were the goodbyes from Dayton and Brooke and Hunter for Cado's next two years.  That brought a few teary eyes.

 Cute Hunter will be so much bigger when Uncle Cado gets home.
We so so tired by the time we got to Pleasant Grove at 11:00 p.m. that Jim was nice enough to convince us to stay.  I was SO HAPPY because I really didn't want to drive home that late.  The next morning Cado and Jackson said their "cousin" goodbyes.  Jackson will be heading to Guatemala in July!

Day 6 and 7...Ship Days

 Eating more ice cream in the elevator.
 Some guys in the lines were more buffed than others.  But they were all equally hungry!
 This was mainly where we spent our time.
 Documenting Cado's fourth ice cream of the day.
 I found that they had great chocolate chips at breakfast.  I learned to fill a bowl and bring it back to my room each day.  Everyone helped me eat it.  (Oh, I forgot to mention that Hunter loved the mueslix each morning.  That was right by the chocolate!  So I always had a good reason to find the chocoloate...because I was getting Hunter his favorite breakfast!)




 Hunter's fruit plate from Renato!  We loved Renato.

 Our drink waiter soon learned that we didn't need any alcohol but we sure did need milk.  He kept our cups filled to the brim with ice cold milk.

 Lobster night!


 Renato had the greatest magic tricks.  Each night he had a new one to awe and amaze us.
