Graduation Celebration

Our quick three day trip to Los Angeles turned out to be a blast. The first night we arrived we experienced our very first earthquake. 5.0 on the Richter scale. We stayed on the 15th floor of a hotel and I swear the room swayed. The next day we experienced the amazing coasters and rides at Six Flags. Afterward we ate our second meal of Chicken and Waffles in less than a week. Our third day we just had to see the ocean and made it out to Venice beach, the Santa Monica Pier and Malibu.

Ohhhhhhhh yeaahhhhhhh



These pics were taken at the end of the day. We decided not to take our camera on the many intense roller coasters.

Me, Clark and Nick.


Clark, Nick and Tomas. I don't know why Tomas is standing so far off.



A picture with the X2 in the background. Way intense.



A picture of the Superman, Goliath and Colossus.



Aside from Clark getting a little nauseated on the Batman I think we all had a super fun time! I hope we're able to go back again soon!

The next day we spent some time down near the water.

It may look a little chilly. Since we are acclimated to the Arizona heat we do consider 70 degree weather 'chilly.'


Clark flashing a....butterfly sign?!





"I want to be big." Name that movie.



Santa Monica Pier.



Stopped to take this photo in Malibu



We had a lot of fun and we're glad Tomas and Nick could join us!

He's a Graduate!

Last Friday Clark officially graduated from Arizona State University with a degree in nursing!



Obama spoke at commencement on the 13th. Clark and Mom Tobler braved the heat and had to be at Sun Devil Stadium 4 hours early in order to participate in and watch commencement. I think the high was 103 that day...



The School of Nursing held convocation two days later on the 15th. He did it!



What a handsome graduate!



Posing with the graduate.




We celebrated Clark's achievement at an awesome restaurant we've been wanting to try. This place may look a little 'ghetto' but it was PACKED. It was not fun waiting for seats in 100+ degree heat. But it was worth it!



Mmmmmmmmmmmm!



Later that day, after a much needed two hour nap, we took a trip to Guitar Center so Clark could pick up his much anticipated gift!



I love you, Clark! Congratulations and let the job hunt begin!
