Taylor Halstead's Graduation 2012

The Big A Bus traveled up to the Matheny campground on Friday, June 15 2012 to get ready for a big weekend for the graduation from high school of our oldest grandchild, Taylor Halstead, on Saturday June 16th.   Now the ironic thing is that 50 years ago I graduated from high school.  We are so proud of all that she has accomplished and looking forward to watching her continue to grow and reach out for her dreams. 
Larry and I had plenty of protection as you will see in the pictures.   The guys from the Strength and Honor Motorcycle Club of which her Dad is President were in attendance to see that this was done right and to take care of the" two old people".   Great group of guys and we love them all. 
We had an open house later on Saturday afternoon at Bryant and Julie's house and had a great time.  Our friends, Jim & Linda Matheny, and Skip and Jackie Edmonds were there to help with all the food to  let Bry and Julie be the host and visit. 
Madie entertained with her music . She played the quitar and sang several songs. She had written a special one for her sister.  There were not many dry eyes in the place.  I was doing pretty good until she turned and looked at me and said"Mimi" and I completely lost it. 
Yesterday we did family pictures with everyone.  Ally and her family had come out for the graduation so it was a great time to get everyone together .

Now the bus is heading back out to Louisa and get ready to go to Gettysburg Pa on Thursday for a long weekend with our camping chapter the Old Dominion Cardinals.
