Happy Graduation!
Ian graduated from Kindergarten today! So it's on to first grade. Ian had a great day, collecting his diploma then announcing his intended vocation in life, as did every graduate in the class. Ian declared he wanted to be "an FBI Agent"! Lots of Ian's friends are headed to different schools, and he will mostly miss his girlfriend Sofia (pictured). We also see Ian with Teacher CJ as well. 
Ian then went with his buddy Cooper to the river bank to throw rocks, splash about and generally hang out. Well done Ian for all your hard effort at school. Mommy and Daddy are very proud of you.

Fathers Day weekend
Ian and Dad (and Mom too!) went camping to Lake Cascade in central Idaho for Father's Day weekend (Dad's choice!). We had a great weekend, fine weather and plenty of water fun on the lake as well as fishing and camp fire marsh mallows. And of course Dad's fine camping cooking too :-)
