This spring three members of our family received their college degrees.
The first graduate was our daughter, Carla, who graduated with a Business degree from Ohio State.
There were 10,200 graduates at OSU, but less than 8,000 walked. They just kept coming and coming!
They walked all the way across the stadium to their assigned places.
They had quite the pattern, but it all worked out!
They pretty much filled up that side of the stadium.

And she flies!
Carla is waving to us in this photo. The business graduates were seated in a section below us. (There were over 1000 of them.)

Congratulations, Carla!

Five days later we attended Ryan's graduation from Southwestern Community College in Creston, Iowa. In contrast to Ohio State, there were less than 100 graduates, which was nice because the ceremony didn't last longer than one hour.
Ryan majored in Ag ~ Crop Production to be exact.
I actually got him to pose for me!
Filing out. Can you find Ryan? Pretty much in the center.

The next day we went to Ames, Iowa, to attend Nicole's graduation at Iowa State University. The first two rows are filled with her cheering committee. ;)
I don't know how many graduates there were. Just guessing maybe 3000. The first ones to enter were the Ag students, which was Nicole's major.
There were over 600 of them.
We spotted Nicole early on. She is at the end of the next to the last row.
More graduates enter.
They pretty much filled up the floor and sides.
Hugs from her brother, Brody, while other brother, Blake looks on.
Andrew and Nicole.
Congratulations to all of you!
