Graduation weekend
Friday afternoon we drove through major thunderstorms to Beresford, SD for Hunter's high school graduation. We stayed at the Super 8 in Beresford. We used to always stay there when we were in Beresford - but haven't stayed there for awhile. We probably won't stay there again. It was ok - but not that great anymore. Alec and Jason were very disappointed that the pool was closed. It would have been nice if they had told us when we made the reservation - but they didn't. Poor Alec had on his trunks and goggles and was all ready to jump in, when he opened the door and found nothing but a dry, empty hole in the ground. He was very disappointed. So anyway - we didn't do much Friday night. Just ate at Subway and hung around the motel. Hunter, Taryn and Brady came by for awhile and visited.
Saturday at 2:00 was the graduation. After that there was a party at the Orr's house. (The Orr's are the family that Hunter has been living with for his senior year.) The party was for both Zach Orr and Hunter and was very nice.
After that party we drove to Sioux Falls to look for a bicycle rack. We determined they were much to expensive and that we could tie Autumn's bike on the roof rack. Once we were done there it was time to head to Barb's house for a BBQ and graduation celebration. The honoree was too busy with his friends to make to the party - but we still had a nice time. They served burgers and brats and had a fire in the outdoor fire pit. All the kids (young and old) had a lot of fun playing in the backyard. We headed back to our motel around 10:30. It had been a long day. Brad, Michael and Autumn dropped off me and boys and then went to gather Autumn's things from her mom's house.
We all got some sleep and then packed up everything to head back to KC. We were going to leave at 9:00 but were slow moving and did not get gone until 10:00. Hunter came over at 8:30 to visit a little and say goodbye. He stayed until we left. We made good time and were home by 3:30. Good thing - because Michael had to be at work at 4:30. It was a tiring but nice weekend. It went fast!
