This is What We Did Today

We went to the park and had a picnic.  Braxton played with a puppy, they loved each other.

He had fun walking around with Dad.

 

And what is a trip to the park without swinging on the swings or sliding down the slide?

 

We also got to show off the new backpack I made for Braxton yesterday.  I think this is my first sewing project that I have done without any help.

I even did the dinosaur complete with googly eyes.  I used the this pattern for the backpack from Indietutes.

The park got kind of crowded after school so we went home and drew with sidewalk chalk.

Braxton played with the chalk long enough for his pants to look like this.  The front was a lot worse but I couldn't get a good picture of it.

He decided that the gate was much more fun.

 

Here is Brad's finished chalk drawing/masterpiece, he is so talented.

The chalk came with 3D glasses.  We didn't think that they would work but actually did.  I tried to take of picture through them but it didn't work very well.

Brad's Graduation

For Brad's graduation we went here 

 

 (Golden Gate Bridge.  This was the view from building the graduation was held in.)

They put all the graduates names up on the screen like the credits in a movie. If you look closely you can see Brad's name towards the bottom of the middle.

  

No graduation would be complete without a ninja battle.  They also had someone dressed up as a Na'vi from Avatar but I did not get a picture of him.

 

 

The Animation Mentor mascot Spike.  Don't ask me what he is, I don't know. 

 

The founders of Animation Mentor.

 

We sat a couple of rows behind Brad.

  

The diploma and meeting the founders .  The three of them took turns announcing names, holding the stack of diplomas, and handing out the diplomas.

 

Family Pictures

A couple of weeks ago my sister-in-law Cammi took our family pictures for us and then I fixed them up a little in Photoshop.

Thanks a lot Cammi, I love how they turned out!  Go check out her photo blog.
