Gadding About at Grandson Brooks' Graduation from UNC Chapel Hill

Grandson Brooks. 
Time flies.  Now my second grandson has graduated from college.  It was fun attending the graduation activities last weekend.   Brooks received his diploma from the Kenan-Flagler Business School at UNC on Saturday afternoon at the Dean Dome. 

Proud grandparents. 

Brooks and his diploma. 

Since I had attended this awarding of diplomas, I did not attend the main graduation on Sunday at Kenan Stadium, but I did go to the brunch at the DKE Fraternity House after the Sunday ceremony. I almost missed it, because when I went to the Friday Center parking to catch a shuttle, the shuttles had quit running, but luckily a Chapel Hill Safety Transit car came checking in the huge parking lot and rescued me and three others who had missed the shuttle. I got deposited at the Carolina Inn across the street from the DKE House. Wonderful!

All the grands were there, as well as many of Brooks and Zach's friends.  (Zach graduated last year from UNC).  The food was especially good.

The youngest grandson Tyler will be a sophomore at UNC next year, so in three more years we will be attending yet another graduation.  I'm wondering if granddaughter Grace will become a Tarheel as well.

Gadding About at UNC Graduation for Class of 2018

The procession of graduates. 
My oldest grandson, Zach, graduated from UNC today, and I was there to celebrate.  It was a horribly hot day, but his grandfather and I made our way over early and managed to get a seat that remained in the shade for the entire program.

After the commencement, we walked over to the DKE House where we enjoyed a fine lunch.

One down, three to go.  Michael and Meredith (both graduates of UNC where they met) have done a great job rearing those grands.
