Today was the first of two college graduations for our family this May.
First up: Samuel’s graduation from Ball State University. Next Saturday: Hannah’s graduation from Olivet.
Melissa and I arrived in Muncie this morning a little after 9 with Hannah, Sarah, and Grandma Trudy in tow.
Ball State does a large group ceremony outside on the Quad in the morning with a commencement speaker but no distribution of diplomas.

In between ceremonies we had plenty of time to eat, walk, pack up a dorm room, and take some pictures.
A couple of Samuel’s friends made a special trip into town for his graduation.
