Thanks mostly in part to Grandma Rose/Grandpa Bob and their generosity in securing a VRBO that could fit all of us, all of Isabel's younger siblings were able to make it to Dallas, TX for her graduation from the University of Dallas in Irving, TX just outside Dallas.
The pool at the VRBO was clutch!
Games were played. Alas no pictures of Mikey suffering through Euchre.
We also got to meet the Smillies! These are Noah's parents (Megan on the very left next to Isabel and Andrew unfortunately cut off on the very right by my wayward photog lol) their daughter Elizabeth also graduated from UD and while we couldn't stay long we just made it in time for the start of her open house after our lunch out!
After graduation we headed to Roanoke to Isabel and Noah's favorite restaurant Oak+Main
Absolutely YUMMY
Paulina and I went for a quick walk through the town while we waited for our food before a sprinkle.
Sister Josephine Garrett was the commencement speaker
Finding Isabel's name!
Taking lots of walking breaks for dad.
Saturday of Bacc Mass was also Grandma Paula's 80th birthday!!
Beautiful sunset/sky after Bacc Mass where a very severe storm simply dissipated around us so we only had to endure a few sprinkles but then had a lovely (strong) cool breeze for outdoor Mass on the mall. The Holy Spirit showed up!!
We got in about 9pmish Dallas time, just enough time to get the pool before bed. Then we woke up about 8am Dallas time, just enough time to get immediately into the pool!!
An Otter on the wing of our Frontier flight, a good omen (Isabel's favorite animal!)
So long TX...except this is a pic from our flight there LOL
