The Week of Graduation

Prepare yourself for way too many pictures!

Our parents came in early this week for Josh's graduation on Saturday. It was a very exciting week and we were so glad to have family with us to celebrate. Josh's brother Jeremy and his family were even able to come in from San Antonio the morning of graduation. Here are some of the highlights from our adventures around Houston:


We took them all out for some Texas BBQ


Kemah Boardwalk...if you couldn't tell by the sign


Captain Cook


Nana Cook taking Houston on the double-decker carousel


The Boardwalk (next 3 pictures)








Feeding the catfish


This kid loves his spashpads


Grandpa Cook and Houston at the Beach


Nana and Grandpa Cook with Houston


Grandma and Papa White





Yeah...we touched a moon rock. That means that we've basically been to the moon.


Training Center


Apollo 1-17, or a combination of some of them, or all of them...I'm not quite sure


That's one big thrust booster


A rocket


Eating at the local Children's museum diner with cousin Cannon. Can you tell they got to pick out their own food?


I think that Jeremy got more into building his own car to make it down the track than Cannon or Houston did. They were all into the building process and had a lot of fun.


More water fun


Graduation lunch




Being paraded around


The Hood


The Diploma


The Family




I guess it's official then- Congratulations Dr. Cook!

So glad that we could come and celebrate with you guys, what an accomplishment. The only picture that I must comment on is the whole Cook family after graduation...Cannon is picking his nose and Houston has his hands in his mouth...quite obvious that they had it about two hours before then...see you guys in a couple weeks!
