Graduates: Assemble!

Last weekend was RPI's graduation!  We had beautiful warm and sunny weather, which made certain parts of the ceremony unbearably hot, but the little breeze definitely helped!

I snapped a quick photo of Rob on my phone on our way up to the ceremony!  :)

We met up with his family (14 of us total!) and I sat with them while he headed off to get lined up.

I snapped a bunch of photos, so here we go...

The stage awaits the graduates!

Rob in the procession!

Dr. Jackson addresses the graduates.

Rob has been the President of the Class of 2012 (and is going to be their Alumni Class President) so he gave a speech before the Undergraduate diplomas were given out!!  He did a great job, too. :)  

Dr. Jackson welcomes Rob to the podium.

And then here's Rob receiving his diploma from Dr. Jackson!

Rob graduated with honors, Cum Laude - we are all so proud of him!! :)


I took a bunch of photos of our friends receiving their diplomas, too - I'll probably just throw those up on Facebook for now though...


Time to wrap it up!

Congratulations, everyone!!!

Now it was time to head down to the main campus for the BBQ!  But first, we grabbed a few photos with the family:

(I grabbed these from Rob's mom - they're all from her camera)

Here's Rob with his parents and brothers...

Tony, Bob, Rob, Sue, and Vinny

And here's one with me! :)

We got a photo of the whole group, too:

Me, Aunt Susan, Sue, Aunt Cheryl, Tony, Grandma Helen, Rob, Grandma Rose, Vinny, Dee (Vinny's girlfriend), Taylor (cousin), Bob, Aunt Lynn, and Uncle Jimmy!

Rob's family headed home after we had lunch - we had a big celebration dinner with them the following night at a restaurant in Amsterdam.  Unfortunately, I didn't take any photos - but between all of the other cameras, I think we got plenty of photos!  I'll try and share a few once I get a hold of them.

So after a much needed nap, Rob and I met up with Kaleigh and her family (mom, dad, and brother Grayson) and our friend Corey to go up to Hattie's in Saratoga for dinner!  We wandered around the park a little while we waited for a table.

Kaleigh, Corey, and Grayson took a spin on the carousel!  Rob and I thoroughly enjoyed watching - and waving like maniacs every time they went by. :)

It was the perfect end to the day!
