Marcie's Graduation

Marcie graduated from Iowa State University this last Saturday...CONGRATS MARCE!  And Congrats to Jack, who lasted through the 3+ hour ceremony...okay, lets be honest, over half of the time was spent out in the concourse running around!  Welcome to the long list of family alum Marcie!

Aunt Marce on the screen? 

I'm pretty sure Marcie is one of the gals in this picture...
My zoom and our seats were not compatible for a good photo!

The best part of graduation (no offense Marce!) was watching the faculty member just over the shoulder of Lieutenant Governor Reynolds as she gave her commencement speech.  Here are some photos that Alisa managed to capture...they'll give you an idea of why we were so entertained.

Just a quick cat nap won't hurt anything

Absolutely no interest in trying to hide his boredom...
I wonder if his students ever give him this look!

...though I'm not convinced he was too concern about the head bob.

"You've got to be kidding me...how long is this going to last?"

To be fair, the photos where he appears to be sleeping may have just been prolonged blinks.  And I can't say I didn't feel his pain...he just happened to be seated in an unfortunate position which broadcast his expressions for all to see and he had no option of stepping out to go run around the concourse for awhile.
