Eventful Weekend Together

We started the weekend off with a graduation party celebrating Jay Heckinger, who all the boys played baseball, debated, and did ICC with while growing up.  The next day, we celebrated Chloe, a fellow ICC guild member to the boys.  During her party there was a water balloon fight and a color run.  We rounded out the day with a game of bowling (about all our untrained arms could handle before they got sore).  Then we worked on a group project for Bryce and watched our new kitty fall asleep adorably in one of Grammy's boxes.

Bowling night, first time in quite a few years.

The color run group--Brett was a good sport and represented for the adults.

Farley boys colored in a variety of ways.

Griffin quizzes Dad on baseball cards.

My hat used to black...and I used to be able to see out of my glasses.

Band reunion with Andy while we are all together before Bryce goes off to internship.

Even Brett got to join in on Friday afternoon after he got off work.

Garrett, Jay, Bryce, and Griffin--from coach pitch to graduation.

That's an orange bomb that hit you on the back, Dad.

Lil Bean or Logray or Chewie...regardless he/she is adorable.

 

Bryce's Graduation Party

 Thankfully we had a few days off before the graduation party to clean the yard and shop for and prepare the food.  Joy's parents and sister flew into town and were instrumental in helping us be ready.  There was a late night of smoking the pork butt and then pulling it before it cooled down too much, but even that was  overcome by the wonderful turnout of friends and family for celebrating Bryce's graduation.  He put together three Kahoot quizzes about himself for the participants to play.  We ate, laughed, played, and talked.  What an event.

Fruit and veggies trays prepared.

Graduation cake, check.
