Graduation in Utah

We went to Utah last week for my brother's graduation.  Zach is really smart and graduated in physics with a minor in math.  It was great to see him and all the other family members down in Utah.  BYU has two parts of the graduation - a big commencement ceremony for everyone and then smaller graduations for the different departments.

Zach is somewhere in the crowd of thousands of graduates.  It took us awhile to find each other but we were able to right before the ceremony.  Megan did not like the loud noise of the applause, so Will and I took turns taking her out.  Besides that it was a good ceremony.  We even got to hear from President Uchtdorf.

Zach poses for a picture after the ceremony.  

Then the next day (at eight in the morning, I might add) was the math and science graduation ceremony.  Zach waiting in line for his turn.

And getting his diploma up on the stage.  Congratulations Zach!  We are all happy for you.

The physics department had an almost party after the ceremony.  We went to a physics show and watched some cool science experiments.

Whitney even got to wear some "magic" gloves so she could dip a balloon into dry ice and watch it shrivel.  She was pretty impressed.

Then there was a huge lunch for everyone.  The food was delicious.  I think everyone overate because everything looked so good.

Finally, we went to a planetarium show and Whitney decided to try on Zach's cap.  

Anyway, it was really fun being part of Zach's graduation.  I am glad we were able to go to Utah and be with everyone.  I will put some more pictures from our trip up in a couple of days.
