Thru Solana's Eyes







Let's 
go
watch
Al
graduate!








Hurry!



Calvin
checks out
the
famous
Star Trek
fountain.




The
rest of us
hurry
to
graduation.






Look
at all
the
colorful
flowers!




and
all the
flat
black
hats!




Some
people
wrote
on their
hats...








and
some
are
wearing
flowers...





They're
looking
for
their
families...









somewhere
in
the
crowd.









But
where
is
Alex?






There
she
is!







There's
lots
of
talking.









And
lots
of
clapping.






Everyone's
smiling...








cheering...








laughing...




This
graduation
thing
must be
a big
deal!




But,
oops!




Alex
must've
forgotten
her
shoes!








Silly
Alex!












And
now...















...for
the
party!








Posing
for
pictures...






Lots
of
pictures!










Lots
of
hugs...








...and
kisses!









Alex
is
busy
with
Camilla...






...and
Veronica.





But
that's
ok.

I get
Uncle
Tom.









And
Nicky!





Now
it's back
to
Alex's
house...





to
meet
more
of her
friends!





Cousin
TJ
even
shows up
on
computer!




Everyone
has
so
much
fun!












Nicky
and
KC
wrestle!





I
borrow
KC's
camera...




Hi
Mom
and
Dad!










Alex
looks
at
her
pictures.






But
too soon
it's time
to go...






They
all
walk us
to our
car...






and
say
good-bye.






Good-bye
Indiana
cousins!






I had
so much
fun!






I
can't
wait....





until
I
graduate
someday...





like
my
cousin,
Alex!

Celebration!






If there's
one thing
these
girls
know....




it's
how
to
celebrate!









So
good-bye
Kitty...










We're off
to see
Al
graduate!





To
the
airport...







KC
avoids
the
camera!






Dinner

the
airport.







Waiting
for
the
plane.






Let's
go!








to
California!









to
Al!






All
together
now!








Time
to
tour
"The
Juice
Box".





Al's
home
for the
last
year.






Check
out
the
tapestry!









The
art
wall!







Camilla
art!







It's
an
artsy
place...







...you
have

I
like
the
refrigerator
art.







and
the
flowers!




Let's
go
to
lunch!






Mmm.

Spicy
food!







Gifts

the

And

Joe's...















for
major
shopping!














Loading

Back

And

Our

Pretty

And
