Alex's High School Graduation

My niece, Alex, has officially graduated High School.  Phew, am I getting old or what?  Took a solo trip to Crandall, Tx to support this momentous event.  It was rather awesome and also good to see the family again.  I usually don't publish pictures without permission of the individual, but I think I'll take the chance on behalf of Alex to better document the occasion.  Let me introduce you all to Alex:

Proud parents and brother:

Graduation time.  Notice the yellow cord!  Honors student here.

Dinner at Outback Steakhouse.  Quite the bill.  Thanks dad for paying.  Ah, and no, the guy in the back of the first pic is not "special".  He's my brother and was simply having fun.  I'll let you decide if he's effectively funny.  Here's both ends of the table and the conclusion of this post.

Congratulations Alex.  May you make your way successfully and happily in this strange world.
