we had a good weekend, filled with graduation festivities. below are the highlights of our unrestrained celebrations.
this is brian, whitney, and roland before the big university-wide event. that was brian's first time in the full phd regalia. note: regalia is a fun word to say.
whitney with her "fake" diploma. this is at the college of humanities graduation event on friday.
brian, roland, and whitney up in american fork canyon. it was a pretty nice day--not super cold, not hot, and definitely beautiful.
we were all pretty tired by the time we were out hiking around. we had gotten up early for graduation and had a big lunch. here you can see brian and roland taking a little break to restore their energy for the rest of the hike.
after resting for awhile, we found some old pine sap nodules on the pine trees. roland and brian turned that old sap into gum.
whitney decided to try a piece of gum, but couldn't handle it for very long. thankfully i've had it before and knew it wasn't too tasty. whitney learned the hard way.
brian thought it was funny. poor whitney.
friday night we had a weenie roast in our fire pit. thankfully we finished right before it started raining hard. but the rain didn't stop roland and brian from going out in our front yard to get night crawlers. we have a good supply of them in our yard, which will be perfect for our summer fishing needs.
and speaking of fishing, brian and roland and whitney went fishing saturday morning. they brought home two fine brown trouts that we ate for brunch. they were so good.

i like this! what a wonderful souvenir of your fun time together. it like a photo album, only better--cuz you tell such a fine story. thanks for posting it. i imagine that i'll come back to read it often--as i do all your bloggin' : )
The full robes look good!
I'll have to get myself one some day :)
But sap gum? YUCK.
I have to say that you are starting to look more and more like Tamaran. That's not a bad thing just an observation that once again I must be the mailman's baby since I look nothing like either one of you.
That picture of Whitney after eating the sap looks like Whitney after eating a fruit cup many years ago on vacation. In fact, when I scanned the blog one day at work when I didn't have time to read, I thought this picture must have been a reenactment of that time.
