Charlie takes home the trophy!

This little snippet gets it's own post.  Sunday night after the zoo, they had a fundraiser for World Rhino Day called Bowling for Rhinos.  Because Bridgette is one of the zookeepers that takes care of the rhinos, she had to be there.  We were all tired, but as always, Grandma and Grandpa pushed through the tired to be there for B.  Matt and I went home to ge crazy-tired Maggie down.  Plus, I needed a night to drink a beer and chill out.  Crowded places really take it out of me.  

There were a lot of people there, but very few children.  I guess the whole place embraced Charlie and were rooting him on.  B said that she was messing around on her phone and the entire place erupted in cheers...it was because Charlie had rolled a strike.  I'm sad I missed it! Charlie eats that stuff up.  They gave him the 'Top Bowler Certificate' and gave him the GIANT PLASTIC GOLD SPRAY PAINTED TROPHY! They even featured him on their facebook page. He was SO excited.  

This should be something I hate, but I LOVE it. Such good memories. 

Bridgette's College Graduation

As a KU alumni, it's been hard to root for the school B went to, but we couldn't be more proud of her.  She killed it. 

So proud, she got me to put this outfit on Mags for the ceremony.

We went to Columbia early Friday morning and had a quick brunch before heading to the ceremony,

Who has a piano in her college apartment?? Bridgette does, of course she does.

Oh, Charlie....

Bridgette's boyfriend.  Also named Ethan...it's been very confusing.

She didn't sleep a wink on the way to Columbia but passed out on the way to the ceremony....of course

Everyone was out immediately....it was a great day
