Sarah's wedding

 On Presidents' Day (February 19th), Sarah called us to tell us she was getting married to Champion on March 1st. We made arrangements to be able to attend the wedding.

Sarah told Me that she really wanted everyone in dresses. Matthew and U sent her this picture, letting her know they were doing their part.

The wedding was down a 17 mile washboardy road. We rode with Grandma and Grandpa A in their 4Runner. On our way, we had to stop for a herd of cattle.

Champion and Sarah looking very happy!

We had a yummy potluck lunch with a lot of food.

Sarah knew just the cake she wanted from Frys. It was delicious!

Another angle

Some of the girls rush to catch it. Megan backed away.

Melody caught the bouquet.

Sisterly hug!

Champion jumping into the water from above the waterfall. Sarah opted not to jump in (it wouldn't be good for the baby, among other reasons) but did get in the water after we left.
