OK, so that's a little too dramatic, but Allen did finally graduate from high school. It was everything you'd expect at a high school graduation: speeches by students who inspired the new graduates to conquer the world, a weepy principal saying they were the best class ever, and 90 minutes of names read at a snail's pace, students pulling poses while their names are read, lots of leis, obnoxious parents and friends screaming when a loved one's name is called, people blocking your view, and pictures afterwards.<br />We had a family dinner at home and I cooked a delicious <span style="font-style: italic;">asado</span>, Jen and her mom some salads, a neighbor made a fruit pizza, Angenette brought some artisan bread for mate afterwards. It was what you'd expect a graduation day to be.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5472448353586023288-2106599532642452137?l=picnpac.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>rpphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12584501606760972424noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472448353586023288.post-15491218001556632862008-05-29T21:07:00.003-06:002008-05-31T12:42:50.388-06:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Gm5cd4o-EGg/SEGZkjk3WNI/AAAAAAAAADw/BTBHsoP0Nj4/s1600-h/2007-2008+103.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 140px; height: 105px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Gm5cd4o-EGg/SEGZkjk3WNI/AAAAAAAAADw/BTBHsoP0Nj4/s200/2007-2008+103.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206611497521207506" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gm5cd4o-EGg/SD9wfzk3WCI/AAAAAAAAACU/12fSIpFmwL0/s1600-h/2007-2008+065.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 141px; height: 107px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gm5cd4o-EGg/SD9wfzk3WCI/AAAAAAAAACU/12fSIpFmwL0/s200/2007-2008+065.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206003385986668578" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gm5cd4o-EGg/SEGZWDk3WMI/AAAAAAAAADo/GT_04ja28AM/s1600-h/2007-2008+078.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 143px; height: 108px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gm5cd4o-EGg/SEGZWDk3WMI/AAAAAAAAADo/GT_04ja28AM/s200/2007-2008+078.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206611248413104322" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gm5cd4o-EGg/SEGb4Dk3WPI/AAAAAAAAAEA/8hRLl5fAP9U/s1600-h/2007-2008+087.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 141px; height: 107px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gm5cd4o-EGg/SEGb4Dk3WPI/AAAAAAAAAEA/8hRLl5fAP9U/s200/2007-2008+087.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206614031551912178" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gm5cd4o-EGg/SD9xAzk3WEI/AAAAAAAAACk/KU_1D4X_CQ8/s1600-h/2007-2008+142.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 144px; height: 108px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gm5cd4o-EGg/SD9xAzk3WEI/AAAAAAAAACk/KU_1D4X_CQ8/s200/2007-2008+142.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206003952922351682" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gm5cd4o-EGg/SD9wTjk3WBI/AAAAAAAAACM/dH9I53RQoDQ/s1600-h/2007-2008+063.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 144px; height: 108px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gm5cd4o-EGg/SD9wTjk3WBI/AAAAAAAAACM/dH9I53RQoDQ/s200/2007-2008+063.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206003175533271058" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />Ok, I know, we're in 2008. But you have to understand, I just barely found the pictures we took last year. So here they are. We spent 4 wonderful days in Bryce Canyon National Park, we slept in a crowded little cabin made for 4 people and cooked in our little stove, but we loved it.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5472448353586023288-1549121800155663286?l=picnpac.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>rpphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12584501606760972424noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472448353586023288.post-66155894280081041722007-12-28T10:26:00.001-07:002007-12-28T10:27:58.706-07:00After reading all of the nieces and nephew's blogs we are inspired to do our own.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5472448353586023288-6615589428008104172?l=picnpac.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>rpphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12584501606760972424noreply@blogger.com1
