Bridges Senior Clap-Out

Daniel had his senior clap out at Bridges today. It was so fun to watch him walk down the hall. All the seniors walked down the hall and then the parents walked down afterwards and the little kids kept clapping and cheering, even for us parents. 

Then we met up in the cafeteria and got a bunch of pictures.

HPAL stands for Higley Program for Accelerated Learning. Daniel started in the Bridges HPAL program in fourth grade.

She was his social studies teacher at Bridges, and now she is the AP Government teacher at Higley.

Daniel wanted to go get food with his friends at Denny's so we took his cap and gown and stuff and he went and did that and then we went home.

Later today, Daniel and Papa when to the gun range. Daniel was pretty excited that he got to shoot a machine gun today.

Daniel went to the Senior Sunset and then went straight to the Wengerts' for Carson's mission call opening. Anyway, it was pretty exciting and most of us were pretty sure he was going to go to Taiwan or Hong Kong or something like that but he was called to the Canada Vancouver mission, Mandarin speaking, leaving on September 1. So that was really cool but unexpected. 

So glad we were able to celebrate Daniel today, and that he was able to support his friend!
