It all began at 3am Friday morning when we left for the airport. Even though mom and dad were a little bleary eyed, Evelyn thought life couldn't get better. Bright lights, lots of people, interesting sights and sounds - the airport was fascinating to her. :)
She listened very carefully to the stewardess as this was her first time flying. She was especially intrigued with the 3 exits that our plane had.
After a while the plane noise really started to get to her so Daddy loaned her his noise eliminating head phones. She enjoyed listening to some good Mumford & Sons or something like that. Regardless of what was playing, she was *quite* pleased and felt *quite* grown up.
On the second leg of our trip we had an empty seat by us so Evie got to sit in her car seat. This helped all 3 of us get some sleep. :) Overall Evelyn was a great traveler. :)
Once we arrived in Hudson we spent the rest of the day playing with aunts, grandparents and great grandparents.
Early Saturday we headed up to Hillsdale for the Main Event. We first had a small lunch party in Waterman (the house I also lived in for 3 years and where Katie has lived the last 3). Aunt Katie gave Evelyn a very special gift - a pink elephant piggy bank. Evelyn was soooo excited, especially after Papop and Great-Grandad and Grandpa donated some coins to make in jingle. :)
Sisters! So sad it's blurry. :(
While we waited for the ceremony to start Nathan, Caroline, Evie and I went for a walk in the Arb. It was fun to be back at our alma mater and recall so many fun memories. :)
The Ceremony!!
We all loved seeing Trina graduate, but this is what Evie thought by the end:
After another fun day Sunday, we flew back to Virginia.
It was a packed and wonderful weekend. Congrats, Katie!!! Can't wait to see what adventures are ahead for you in Lancaster!
