Last weekend we went to Durango for Cynthia's graduation. She was graduatating from Fort Lewis College with her BAin education. We just couldn't miss that. She has done very well and graduated with honors. Suma Cum Laud. We wnt down on friday after Brain and Beka got out of school, and then we took the Polar Express train ride that evening. The Durango and Silverton train sets up the polar express santa train. It was verycool. They ride you out on the rain for about 10 miles and read the Polar Express story and then they have set up a little North Pole out in the wilderness and santa and his helpers get on the train and give everyone a little bell on the way back to town. The children enjoyed it very much. We did also. Then Saterday morning we went to the graduation. It was very nice also but I am used to the hupla that we do at our schools so it was a little "Hickish" but very nice. The picture of all the student's together are the adult education students and the professor that was responsible for them. They started with 12 student's and graduated 7. We wern't able to catch Cynth with her cap on so we just caught her in her gown. As you can see she looked drained. The couple with the three kids was the gal Cynth went to and from Durango and home with. She is a good friend. There's mom with one of the bakers on the train and of course then ther is santa.
