Ryan's 5th Grade Graduation

Ryan has completed elementary school. His school had a couple of events for "5th Grade Graduation". They got to go to The Columbia Restaurant for a banquet luncheon. They were all dressed up and looked so cute! Then, they went to Busch Gardens for a day. Ryan really enjoyed being dressed up and when I told him to bring an extra set of clothes, so he could change if he wanted, he said, "But what if I don't want to change out of this?" He was too cute getting ready that morning and when he got home he said they had a good time. He didn't have quite as good of a time at Busch Gardens because they were divided into groups and no one in his group wanted to ride the roller coasters. They weren't allowed to ride alone, so he didn't get to ride any roller coasters. However, they did ride most of the other rides and he brought home cotton candy for me, Dad and Andrew. I felt bad for him about the roller coasters, because he's like me, a roller coaster person and he was so looking forward to being able to ride them. Anyway, he is now officially in the gifted program and will begin middle school in that program. Congratulations Ryan!
