Alex Is ready for High School

Thursday we drove down to DeMotte, IN to see our oldest granddaughter graduate from the 8th grade. It does not seem possible that Alex has grown to be such a lovely young lady so quickly. We left in the afternoon so we could be on time for the 7 PM ceremony, in the gym at DeMotte Christian school. There were 40 graduates and it was a very nice program. Afterwards we went to Elton and Lauri's house for cake and coffee along with some of Lauri's family.
We stayed overnight and got to spend a few hours enjoying the grandkids and getting caught up with them and all their activities.

Alex will be leaving early Monday morning, with 17 other 8th graders for a trip to Washington DC for 5 days. They have a very full schedule and I am sure they will have lots of fun too. What a wonderful learning experience. I have to say that Alex earned all the money to take this trip, so 'good job Alex'.
