Rachel's Graduation Picnic

Rachel is the first of Becky and John O'Brien's grandchildren to graduate from high school.  We weren't all able to make it to her graduation ceremony, so we planned a picnic party as a way for us to celebrate.  We met at a beautiful park in Fredericksburg and had just the best weather.  Below is a picture of the bright and beautiful Rachel, who will be attending JMU in the fall. 
(Yay!! We're thrilled that she'll be joining us in Harrisonburg!!) 

After a cook-out and lots of sweets we took a short hike to this stream.  There were lots of rocks to throw and crayfish to find.

Max loved, loved, loved throwing rocks like his big brothers and cousins. 


 The 5 grandkids! 
 I just wish John was still alive to see his grandchildren playing together in the stream, celebrating the graduation of Rachel- the little girl who stole all our hearts when we met her 17 years ago.
