Minnesota graduations

From June 3-7, 2026, we traveled to Minnesota for the high school graduation celebrations of Helena Blomquist and Malaysia Johnson.

We feel so lucky to have been able to participate in this important event! Highlights included:

  1. witnessing the graduation events (ceremony and parties).
  2. traveling with the Livengoods.
  3. talking to many Blomquist family members, friends, and pets.
  4. visiting favorite places.
  5. celebrating love for and pride in our Minnesota “clan.”

Here are a few photos of the events and other activities.
