Towards the end of May, a large portion of my Dad’s side of the family traveled to California for my cousin’s graduation. Other than the horrendous debacle of a delayed flight causing a seven-hour layover in Denver, it was a great time.

The mountain town we visited was so idyllic and photogenic, I had a hard time putting my camera down.
The house we stayed in for our time in the mountains. Such a cool house with an amazing view.
Noelle gave Tess her graduation presents the night before her ceremony. Some real sibling interactions were captured before the sentimental moments of actually giving/receiving presents.
She was so excited when opening her presents.
Saturday morning was spent preparing for the ceremony and celebration later in the evening.
Little guy was having a blast with the marbles.
The location of Tess’s graduation was an outdoor amphitheater with a parachute awning that I don’t think I’d be able to describe without a picture.

The graduation celebration took place in Kim and Dan’s backyard, complete with barbecue, a bar and a cotton candy machine the kids LOVED.
We were able to go for a hike the day before we left and it was unbelievably beautiful. I had to stop so many time to take pictures of the gorgeous views.
It was such an amazing time getting to visit some place we had never been and it was so beautiful. I was happy to be able to spend the weekend with family and celebrate Tess’s graduation.
