Hi Guys...I've been away for awhile. Just got back from my son's graduation from the Air Force Academy. It was a thrilling event! I didn't do my best photography because I had tears in my eyes most of the time, but thought a would share a few shots anyway.

Hi Mom!

The famous hat toss...wish I had been in a different seat so I could have had a better angle
