Graduation Party 2004

5th Grade to Middle School

    We had a party in honor of Mary's graduation from elementary school to middle school. The big attraction was a Moon Bounce in the back yard. It was a progressive party with young children from the neighborhood showing up first, Mary's classmates next, and finally older friends of Patrick. Baby Liam showed up when he could get away. The constant rain deterred no one.
