My nephew's high school graduation!

I headed back to IL again for another graduation :) It's that time of year!

I attended one of my nephew's last baseball games.

 

 He only played a couple innings late in the game (he is usually a starter), but a couple days prior, he dove for a ball and dislocated his shoulder.  I didn't think I would see him play, so happy to see him out there!

 We also had time for a yummy breakfast!!

 THen a couple days later, it was time for the big event!

 My brother won a sky box from an auction, so we had awesome seats! (There were only 2 boxes!)

 Such good seats that the principal & superintendent had to come up and see the view :)

 My niece & brother

 Lots of graduates - almost 1,000!

 We also had yummy refreshments - bagels; coffee cake; fruit...

 Couldn't get an up close photo from our sky box - but we did get a good one from the private TV in our box :)

 AFter the ceremony, we met a large group for lunch!
Nick with my sister, her husband, and daughter.

 Nick will be attending the University of Illinois this fall!  My alma mater - as well as his parents!
It's extremely difficult to get accepted into this school these days - but he is such a smarty!  He graduated magna cum laude!

 When he was little :) - with his sister.  Time flies!
