Graduation Day

Ammo the dachshund memorial day weekend

You might think that during my 3-day weekend for memorial day that most of my time would be spend lounging around and relaxing. But if you are a regular reader of my blog, then you know that this is simply not going to fly around my house – and you better believe that I packed as many adventures in as I could! By the end of the weekend I was so tired I even slept through dinner!

I kicked off the weekend by celebrating my Aunt Laurel’s graduation from the University of Delaware.

Even though I physically didn’t get to attend Laurel’s graduation as a certified Athletic Trainer I was there in spirit as mom texted me photos from the event so I could watch from home.

But I did get to wear my blue and gold proudly for the graduation party held at the farm the next day.

I kept busy all day and played a whole bunch of yard games with the party goers.

Cornhole is my new favorite, and I’m fairly certain that I was the only one playing properly. Winning!

And just like any function on the family farm, the magical ponies unicorns made their appearance as the graduate was made to participate in an embarrassing obstacle challenge.

I let my pal Trooper handle the judging this time while I manned the camera with mom, as I wasn’t going to miss a second of this train wreck.

Eventually the graduate crossed over the bridge to her future with her trusty steed Jet!

And we all cheered!

By this point in the day I was pretty zonked, but I pulled it all together, because I’m never one to miss family portrait time!

Awww how cute.

Trooper of course decided to kick off the extended family portrait with a bang!

And it was all down hill after that!

I’m so lucky to be a part of so many family adventures!

But, next time I might have to recruit a stunt double, because this pup was not prepared for the awesomeness that is GRADUATION DAY! 

Tuesday Night Lights

Last night I attended my very first men’s college soccer game at the University of Delaware.

As fascinating as it was to watch the Blue Hens play Lafayette, I actually didn’t attend the game specifically to watch the men’s soccer team play. (sorry boys).

Nope, I actually had my eye on the sidelines for a good part of the time.

See the girl on the end there? That’s my Aunt Laurel – and she’s a senior in the Athletic Training Program at the University of Delaware. So while the boys were busy trying to score goals, Laurel was tending to bloody noses, helping hobbling players off the field and icing legs. Pretty cool right?

In fact I was so excited to come support the team that I even wore my blue and gold winter coat (you know, in Delaware colors).

Everyone thought I was the BIGGEST fan ever…..I didn’t argue, because no one has to know it was my very first game. hehe.

 

You can check out the game day recap here (sadly UD lost) but it’s still fun to look at the senior appreciation photo up top where my Aunt Laurel is pictured second to last on the right.
