Brandon and Angela graduated!

At the same time that Aubrey was preparing to attend LDS Prom, I was in Utah visiting with my awesome college kids and partying with Brandon and Angela, who graduated that weekend in April. Brandon graduated in Film and Angela graduated in Microbiology.

We spent some time walking around the campus and taking pictures next to places which were important to Brandon and Angela during their years at BYU. Angela spent a lot of time at the Life Sciences building and especially in the lab where she did fascinating research.

Brandon worked at BYUTV, editing Studio C, Story Trek, and other projects.

 Most of Brandon's classes for his major were in the HFAC.

We took pictures in cool places around the beautiful (but windy) campus.

Bailey re-created this picture from when Brandon graduated from high school (5 more years until her graduation)

This time, 3 more years until she graduates from college!

 We took dorky pictures by the Studio C characters in the BYUTV studio.

Later that night I treated the kids to dinner at their favorite restaurant, Bombay House. Delicious!

Other fun events while in Utah:

Too much good food, including lots of Swig cookies and Dirty Dr. Pepper.  Oh, and Cafe Rio. And Bowl of Heaven.

Bailey and I moved all of her stuff (and it was a lot) out of Heritage Halls and into Grandma and Grandpa's basement in Draper. Wow - it was a lot of work! Thank goodness Cousin Nate was around to help.

Nate hung out with Bailey and her roommates all year, and they got to be great friends!

 We worked hard loading every inch of the rental van and it was HOT, so we drove ourselves directly to Sonic to get an icy drink!

 That night Angela prepared a truly amazing meal for me, Bailey, and her parents. She is a fantastic cook!

The next day Bailey and I drove to Heber to see Grandma and Grandpa for a day. Brynlie came with us. We played a rousing game of Bananagrams and had a great time talking!

And that was the end of the whirlwind trip - we said goodbye to Brandon and Angela and Bailey and I flew back to Vancouver to get her ready to leave to Europe in one week!
