After the big dance recital Friday night, we went to Bismarck for Ray's MBA graduation. First, the masters' graduates go through a Hooding Ceremony. Ray's behind the speaker.
That was a nice, short, 30 minute ceremony.
That picture was on the newspaper's website. Then, was commencement which was 1 hour 40 minutes. Thankfully, the graduate students go first so the rest of us left after Ray walked across the stage.
After the ceremony, we took them to dinner at Space Aliens because they'd never been to one before. Lily hit the jackpot on a game and ended up with over 400 tickets! She traded them in for some fun things. We spent the rest of the evening swimming, playing pinochle, and watching a movie.
I didn't get one good picture of Jace on the waterslide because he was always laying down. This was the kids ready to watch the movie.
The kids swam some more in the morning after we had breakfast. Then, we parted ways.
Amy Sue should have some more photos from the weekend on her blog this week.

and very good at that! Congratulations to Ray!
And here's the crazy thing. I've eaten at the "Space Aliens" in Bismark -- a couple of years ago when we drove from MN to Glacier NP, we stayed in Bismark and I pestered the Beloved to eat there -- well, b/c I'm a nerd and I'd never seen one before... ;)
