Monica's Graduation Bar-B-Que

Monica graduated from High School, 1 year early that calls for a family celebration:) So with the weather not really wanting to cooperate and the growing season getting off to a slow start, this made for quite a challenge to get the backyard in order.
But all worked out and Monica was able to even enjoy her Grandpa coming for the day from Salem, Oregon.
You couldn't ask for a better day, the weather was perfect. The lemon/mint ice water was a hit that is for sure.
Grand Daughter Lucy enjoyed playing with all her older relatives, she loved the attention the family gave her.
Some were not on the guest list and showed up anyways, but that's OK until this visitor ate this beautiful flower I have been protecting from all the deer the last week. That night after the event I didn't take the time to cover most of the flowers from the deer, so it took advantage of situation and enjoyed this beautiful flower for it's nights feast, why can't they go to someone elses house that is all I ask!
Pretty while it lasted!
Monica's Uncles and Father made it a point to coach and guide her into her next phase of life this day. But I am very proud to say she held her own that is for sure and this is one touch crowd, good job Monica!
The food was wonderful didn't get many photos though but I can always seem to enjoy snapping a shot of the sushi plate.
So here I am with my dear friend who always seems to fly into Redmond no matter where she is at in the United States to help me out at the last minute. The celebration is over and we took just a short time to sit in the sun and enjoy the moment!

Again Congratulations to Monica for a job well done all through High School.
