Graduation was not laid out all that well. This is the best picture we could take from our position.
We did pull off this picture of Gil (recently graduated - he's the one with the big smile!)
And here he is with his diploma.
With big sis and the dog.
Me playing with the digital camera at graduation. It works beautifully!
After graduation we took a trip to the Very Large Array
It was very windy and we could here the dish humming in the wind from this spot.
The array consists of 27 moveable dishes that can get into a star spanning 20 km! When we were there, they were in their close formation which makes for a nice photo.
Even Loraine's dog Chelsea (AKA Superdog) enjoyed the trip to the VLA!
We took a ride up the world's longest tramway on Sandia Peak. Here you can see granite with overlying limestone.
And here is a fault in the granite similar to the faults I study in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Can you spot the fault?

We finally got to return to White Rock on our last day. Here we are at the overlook of the Rio Grande Rift in White Rock. Amazing!
