Memorial Day Weekend and Bryce's Graduation

This past weekend, Paul and I made a surprise visit to see our second oldest nephew, Bryce, graduate from high school. Lord willing, we hope to make it to all of our nephews' and niece's graduations. Bryce was so happy we came and we definitely surprised him...he had the biggest grin on his face when he saw us there! After the ceremony, Paul's mom and sister had a graduation party for Bryce. Paul's mom made pulled pork barbecue and his sister got the cutest graduation decorations and we all played Corn Hole which is a very fun game (it's very common in the northeast/Appalachian region.) Here are some pictures to share:

A lot of the students decorated their hats. Bryce did his, too.

It was hilarious! A guy in the crowd looked just like Dwight Schrute on the Office!!! So many people were taking pictures of him!!!

I think BJ looks a lot like Paul...and Bryce does, too, in this picture.
