Graduation was at 6:30. We got there right around 6, in hopes of taking some family photos (something we usually forget to do). Naturally, we could find nowhere to rest the tripod to do this, so the end result was we got front-row seats instead. Not a bad trade! While we waited to take CAM to her classroom, Mick snapped this photo of the redheads. (That's CAM, to my right -- you can barely see her.)
Ah, much better.
CAM led her class in, which was a surprise to us. Look how excited she is!
There are two four-year-old classes, and they performed a number of songs together.

| Singing God Bless America. |
 |
| Hey, if Mick could sneak-attack me, I could do the same to him! Here, he and WHM are videoing the show. |
After the first round of songs, the classes left to get their caps and gowns. While they were gone, we got to watch a slide show, and then they marched back in. Each child's name was announced along with what they want to be when they grow up.
We had lots of doctors and teachers (wisely, no lawyers!), and a paleontologist and an artist ... and CAM? What did CAM say she wants to be when she grows up? "A grown up."
 |
| I can't say how disappointed I am that this one is blurry. Sigh. There's always one you miss! |
 |
| Waiting for more classmates again. |

After the ceremony we all were invited to the fellowship hall for cake and punch, and lots of hugs and photos.

| Family photo. I need to zoom in and crop, I know, I know! |
We made sure to get one last photo with CAM's wonderful teachers. That's Miss Chellie on the left, and Miss Marcy on the right.
It was an excellent evening, and (mostly) tear-free!
