A Final Roll Tide

-

ROLL TIDE! Henry is officially a University of Alabama Alum!

We co-hosted some of the friends at Loosa Brewery before the graduation ceremony 






Three of the original 4 freshman roommates


And then had to walk to the ceremony in typical Alabama weather...torrential downpours

We were soaked but settled in to watch our boy walk the stage...







...after the ceremony there was still sideways rain...
...but at least the school took cap and gown pictures...



How do Matt and I have two college graduates now?? 
We are beyond proud. 
Go out and do great things, boys!

Here we go...the first college visit for our last little Hanson! Whew, how did we get here?? Viv loved everything about Elon, but kind of the way she loves everything about life. It really was an impressive school though. The size is perfect, it has a great nursing program and a beautiful campus.  Who knows where she'll end up, but Elon sure did set the bar high.  From North Carolina we went to South Carolina to visit the Hansons Matt and Maureen on her birthday And maybe the best part of long weekend was a Buccee's stop! Totally worth the price of admission!
