So this memorial day weekend started off with me leaving for Yuma on Friday to see my brother Edgar graduate high school. It was a bout a 2.5 hour drive, and I left about 12:30 after having lunch with Laetitia, since she still had to work. There was a pretty bad accident on the way there, and also a fire was starting by the side of the road (I called 911 for that one). Once I got there, it was over 100F out, but since it was dry, it didn't feel too bad. I got to visit with Edgar and other family, and when he headed out to meet up with his friends, I went swimming with my dad at his work, the Desert Grove Motel.
At the graduation, both the home and away grandstands were full, so I eventually snuck onto the field where the VIP's were, since I was hoping to snag a few good pictures. I got a few of Edgar immediately post-grad, along with his friends, so that was worth it.
Afterward, I was tired, and he went off to party with his friend, so I went back to stay with my Dad and relatives... they played cards but I crashed out, and left the next morning. Anyway, it was nice to get out of town and go somewhere different, and see some family.
