Valedictorian!!

June 5th was graduation day at East Carteret High School. Our nephew Josh was a senior this year and graduated on Friday. He was valedictorian!! We knew he was up near the top of his class, but were happy and surprised by our great he really did! We're so proud of him. We had a great weekend visit with the family. Bridget and Dillon loved playing with their cousins. We went to the NC Aquarium on Friday with Dick, Ann and Jake. What a fun place! We saw a lot of neat sea life. We had a picnic near Fort Macon and walked on the beach afterward. Friday night was the big graduation night. Josh did really well on his farewell speech. Dillon and I had to leave the gym after that - it was too much for him....but we did see the important parts! Saturday we had a cookout at Sharon's house (she is Karen's twin sister - and Karen is Jon's mother - Jon is my brother-in-law --- Tammy's husband). We swam in the pool and enjoyed everyone's company. Josh tried to teach Bridget how to play chess - she was very serious about it, and had lots of questions for him. We came home on Sunday after spending a relaxing day playing hair dresser and eating some yummy seafood.
Josh is off to UNC-Chapel Hill next year and we couldn't be prouder.
