It started on Monday with dinner IMG_0442 IMG_0443 with Ben IMG_0444 Jane IMG_0445 and Suzanne IMG_0446 as we enjoyed the fruit IMG_0447 and salad IMG_0448 plates.

On Wednesday, I met with Tom Roche IMG_0449 of the English Department and Bob Durkee IMG_0450 who is Vice President for Public Relations.

On Thursday, I met with JoAnn Mitchell and Steven Gill IMG_0451 who are the vice provosts who look after the university's money.

Friday morning, Ben made this face IMG_0452 before heading off to camp maybe because he knew about the sleeping 15 year olds IMG_0453 Ned IMG_0454 Kevin IMG_0455 Jane IMG_0456 and Kaylen IMG_0457 who were in our family room having stayed up all night to prove that they could.

Friday night began the Albemarle concert sequence. We went to All Saints Church and joined the crowds IMG_0458 waiting to go in for the musicianship training concert.

Saturday's concert was at the chapel at the Lawrenceville School IMG_0459 and Jane and Sarah IMG_0460 IMG_0461 were ready as was Suzanne IMG_0462 as the choir was there IMG_0463 and sang away IMG_0464 IMG_0465 in the heat and humidity.

Afterwards, we found Ben and Nate IMG_0466 on the lawn wrestling IMG_0467 and hugging IMG_0468 and pulling each other fro IMG_0469 and to IMG_0470 as Nate got together with his mother and sister IMG_0471 and Ben IMG_0472 lifted his head IMG_0473 to get in a few family photos IMG_0474 IMG_0475 IMG_0476 before he decided IMG_0477 to go back to Nate IMG_0478 so Laura IMG_0479 could take a few pictures before they got back to action IMG_0480 IMG_0481 which amused Suzanne, Sarah and Jane IMG_0482 IMG_0483 who were eventually joined by Ben looking down IMG_0484 then up IMG_0485 IMG_0486 and then almost at the camera IMG_0487 which caused Suzanne and Laura IMG_0488 to make plans IMG_0489 and Ben, Nate and Daniel Sturm IMG_0490 IMG_0491 posed for a few before starting their dance IMG_0492 IMG_0493 as Suzanne IMG_0494 and Paul Starr IMG_0495 watched. Next the boys did their dance IMG_0496 IMG_0497 IMG_0498 and we drove on back to Albemarle to search through the god's eyes IMG_0499 IMG_0500 until we could find Benjamin;s IMG_0501 as Nate showed off his sculpture IMG_0502 and we decided to call it a successful year at Albemarle.

As the boys were finishing lunch IMG_0503 IMG_0504 IMG_0505 Suzanne gathered together the library books IMG_0506 to give us IMG_0507 IMG_0508 so Jane and I could go bring Sarah her shoes IMG_0509 at the MCUDL IMG_0510 IMG_0511 fields where the banner IMG_0512 caused us to take even more pictures IMG_0513 IMG_0514 of the signs. Next we went to get gas IMG_0515 and drove down Nassau Street until these people pulled out IMG_0516 so that we could park for CVS IMG_0517 and buy gum IMG_0518 since Jane's photos were not done. After paying for the gum IMG_0519 we went to the library IMG_0520 and then to Blue Mountain IMG_0521 to look at the shoes IMG_0522 until this sales person IMG_0523 found the right shoes IMG_0524 for Jane.
