Graduation picnic for the college. All students graduating from several different programs next spring with facility, staff and families have a great time at a local city park. This is my second year and just as enjoyable as the first. No I did not get in the water again, it just looks to cold for me!

Everyone headed to the picnic area with much enthusiasm


A spirited game of dodge ball


Move fast or get hit


Still moving even the professor in the hat


Someone got hit :)


Monkey patrol, the monkeys seemed more
aggressive this year.  I even had my roll taken right
out my hand, didn't feel a thing


Two special sisters, my adopted grand
daughters.


And a special brother, my adopted grandson

Special friends

Boys swim or water fight in one area and
girls in another area


More splashing


The girls will pose for a picture, plus a couple of
young sons


Another pose
