Hail the Conquering Graduate

Hayes gets a special sendoff as the youngest of the cousins to graduate—and let’s face it, he’s always been the biggest personality of the bunch! It’s hard to believe that the baby of the family is all grown up and leaving the nest. (Maybe Claude Jr. and Molly are finding it the most hard to believe. Hahaha) Hayes has given us many a laugh busting out with his dance moves, telling his outrageous stories, and making those priceless expressions. But he’s also wowed us with that Thompson athleticism, especially when pole vaulting to the heights to the likes of 1st in state. Beautiful and crazy. I’ve always been touched by Hayes’s big heart, and I know Amy will miss that most of all. Hail, conquering graduate—and all our love as you venture off into the wide world.
