My parents, Brent, Jesi, Heather, and I went on a day hike with a few llamas to Duffy Lake.

The Territory Akubra hat that I purchased at MANSWORLD in Mount Isa for the Mount Isa Rodeo made another appearance on this trip. Heather found it somewhat difficult to get close to me with my rather large beard and very large hat.

Loading up the llamas to head back to the truck.

Brent made a friend.

Friday was the MIME graduation ceremony. I was hooded by my professor. This is from before the lineup and processional into the concert hall.

David’s two kids were having fun hiding in his robes.

Marching in.

The platform party including the invited speaker telling us to have a good time and not sweat the small things.

Getting hooded. I had to bend down so that my professor could put the hood on me. Rob and Toni were having a good laugh over the height differential and also the words that the MCs read about me. I made sure that they read something funny.
