This past weekend, my brother graduated from high school. Congratulations Woodbridge Senior High School Class of 2010! (Although, 2010 will never be as awesome as the Class of 2003—if any of my fellow graduates even read this :) )
Shane had Friday off, so we headed up to Woodbridge around 10 and arrived up there right before 1pm….traffic wasn’t too bad, just your typical I-64 nonsense. Once we arrived, Trevor got settled into Grammy’s house (read= getting into anything he possibly could) and we all relaxed. My brother’s girlfriend stopped by for a bit and then the two of them headed off to GMU to see the Gar-Field (look, I even give the school the dignity of their hyphen Liz) graduation at the Patriot Center. Grammy, Grampy, Shane, Trevor and I ran out to Lowes to get some stuff for projects that Shane could help my dad out with and then came home. The five of us took a walk after we got back and took Trevor to a playground by the house that had a wooden train and small slide/jungle gym. Trevor had tons of fun playing on the train and going down the slide. Of course, my camera died before we made it to the slide, but here are some pictures of Trevor playing on the train: 
Once we got back to the house, Trevor got a bath and we put him down for the night. Shane and I were then able to go out for a couple of hours to have some alone time. This was the 4th time we have ever gone somewhere without him (one of those time's was when we closed on the house, go figure) in the past 15 months, so we were really excited to have a couple of hours to ourselves.
Saturday morning was my brother’s graduation ceremony, so my mom, dad and I headed over to the high school for it. Shane stayed home with Trevor—we figured the sun and heat would have been too much for him since it was taking place on the football field. After the ceremony we went to lunch together and then Christopher went off to graduation parties for the rest of the day. 
Sunday everyone went to the 9am mass at SEAS where all of the senior/graduate altar servers were serving for mass. It was a group of seven of them who had been serving since they were in 3rd grade. Fr. Searby, the parochial vicar at SEAS, joked as he spoke about them, that now they are off to college and done serving, that the average height of his altar servers was going to drop drastically and he would no longer feel self-conscious standing next to them. He had a point—all the guys are pretty tall, there must have been something in Lake Ridge’s water back in 1992 when they were all born. 
After church Christopher went back out with his girlfriend and the rest of us spent the day hanging out at the house, and Trevor went swimming in a little pool on the back deck. He loved it! He has fun in our pool at home, but he always has to be in a float or held by someone, so I am sure he really loved the extra freedom. 
We had a great weekend trip and a super easy drive home, Trevor stayed awake for most of it. Once we got home, Trevor went right to sleep and Shane and I did some unpacking before we did the same.
Congratulations Christopher! Good luck at WVU!
