It was a big deal with Megan graduating from high school. She is the last in a long line of excelling high school graduates in our family. So, we took occasion to make the event into a family reunion. We were so thrilled to reunite with all of our children and their families.
Jonathan flew in on Thursday evening, May 30. Joshua, Jessica, Henry, and Blake flew in on Friday afternoon, May 31.
The actual graduation ceremony was held on Friday afternoon at 2:30pm at Constitution Hall in Washington DC. We witnessed the 2019 class of Quince Orchard High School walk in their commencement ceremony. After the graduation, we had a great big reunion and enjoyed hotpot together. Then we drove out to Damascus to eat at Jimmie Cone.
On Saturday, at about 10:30 AM, I gave Megan a written fathers blessing and presented her the laminated blessing with her name etymology in English and Chinese. It was cool to have my sons, Jonathan, Joshua, Henry, and Javi, helping me in giving her a blessing.
Afterwards, we had a family bowling activity at bowl America. In the afternoon, some of us went to the swimming pool. We drove up to Frederick to eat at the Cracker Barrel. The country style old fashioned American food is one of Megan’s favorite places to eat. After eating, we sat on a dozen rocking chairs on the porch and took photos. We then drove to the Fouger-Pratt farm for family photos and for a Smore feast.
On Sunday, we went to church together at the Montgomery Branch. We enjoyed the rest of Sunday together, eating, viewing slide shows of our weekend graduation festivities, playing trivia games, eating some more, and enjoying a Family Home Evening together.
It was so much fun to see our whole family together and even more fun to see them grow. I am so grateful for our children and grandchildren. We are so blessed to have each of them in our family. We are grateful that Megan graduated from high school and will enter a new phase in her life and gave us this opportunity to celebrate life, which has been really good to us.
