Friday, before picking up our rental car and driving to the metropolis of South Bend/Benton Harbor, we took advantage of the nice weather and did a little more sightseeing in Chicago, taking a water taxi to the Navy Pier.
Someone was a little nervous about it (and cold because she insisted on wearing shorts), but with her Papa was all smiles.
On the water…
nice scowls.
after checking in to our hotel in benton harbor.
Marcus got cold feet leaving the boys with a sitter he was unfamiliar with, so he stayed back with them while I went on to dinner with the family here.
I was wearing 4 inch heals and had to struggle to catch javi…
someone doesn’t like getting his picture taken!!!
team nena…. the bug (dr. lavertu!), m, tio richard, nana, e, tia marga, javier, andres, and the ‘suegros’ becky and kevin. missing javier and cutter (presumably hydrating at that moment after a long night out).
It was a l.o.n.g. ceremony and some of us needed to walk around…
serious conversation with tia marga.
Then it was finally our graduate’s turn…
The actual moment… sorry for my yelling…
Nena - graduacion from Denise Glaser on Vimeo.
I was SOOOO relieved my zoom lens worked out – first time I’ve really tried it and I’m so glad I did as I was so far away.
jacksito, javi, tia marga, nena, nana, cutter and emi.
That night we went over to Nena’s house for a party with all the grads and their families.
clearly someone thought he was back in college and enjoyed himself a little too much.
at her own party nena toted emi around all night long. total trooper. emi ate it up. she still says that seeing nena was the best part of the trip.
with tio richard.
