Saturday, Bug and I took Pap and Mam down to Pap's 55th year class reunion. He graduated from a high school right near the University of Cincinnati. The building is so cool, it has gargoyles!! This is the front with Bug on the steps and Mam in the picture.
The building was built in 1908, over a century ago. The school is still in use, there is a new section built a few years ago. Pap and Mam stayed for the luncheon and Bug and I walked around the University to see the changes from when I started college there over 25 years ago (how is it possible that I was in college 25 years ago???).
The center tower- it took 2 pictures to get it all in.
The very top of the center tower.
Pap ran into one of his friends before they went in.
Bug and I had lunch over in the new University Commons and then walked to look at the changes in the campus. None of these athletic fields were as accessible when I was in college here. The football team actually played in the downtown stadium, not here on campus. This is the sign from the soccer field. I did not realize there was a soccer game in the evening, but we had other plans for the evening to be detailed below.
This is athletic complex, he soccer field, the football stadium, the field hockey field and off camera the baseball/softball fields.
The building with the white tower is the Hall where I spent most of my time- the Arts and Sciences building. It is amazing to see all the changes.
This is looking down the railing toward one of the dormitories and the College of Music.
Bug and I walked over to Arts and Sciences building and found a fountain. Yep, he and I are drawn to water- the siren call of Agua. I gave Bug some pennies to thrown into the fountain and he was happy.
Looking toward the student center. None of this in the middle was there when I was in college. There was an old army building where I took geology classes, that building is long gone. I like the look of the campus now, wide open spaces to play Frisbee, sit and study, people watch. 
We headed back to high school and played "I spy with my little eye" for about 15 minutes before the adults came out for a class picture. This is the group that came to the luncheon. Not everyone from the class was able to make it, but I think Pap had a great time.
Bug and I had 30 minutes at home before we headed out to the farm. Hermano was celebrating his birthday. Bug fell asleep before we got to the main highway.
There were 5 boys and some family at the party. As always, it was a great time. the boys played for a good long time while the grownups talked.
K made Minion Twinkies for the boys- too cute!
After dinner, cake, ice cream and present, we headed out for a hayride. I love taking hayrides.
The boys enjoyed the ride. I found my new favorite house on the ride. I really want it, it is too cute.
J was the perfect driver.
We had a quiet day at home with Mam and Pap. We watched some football, had some chili and corn bread and some apple pie crescent rolls.
It was a busy weekend, but a good weekend.
Love and hugs,
Deb
