I better get these on the blog or I will be encroaching on the next adventure. We took the chance to attend a wedding in Utah and snuck a trip to Zions in with it.
Rod met up with Bob, a former mission secretary we worked with for months and they hiked the Narrows for about 7 hours.
I however, did not go with. I was so clever as to break my toe a few days before hand, so hiking wasn't appealing. I browsed a few shops and read by the pool. A hard life!

The wedding was at the new Payson temple, so we got to add a new one to the list and see a darling couple married for eternity!
We didn't go to the luncheon as we had made plans to lunch with some other missionaries. Then discovered lost the invitation and so didn't know where the reception would be held. After our lunch we had several hours to kill so Rod decided to drive up to the mountains hoping to find a nice cool place to hang out. As we were driving, randomly along we saw this.
Those are the names of our newly weds all right. My husband just drove right to their house without any idea where they lived. We weren't even really trying to get there but we stopped by and got a replacement invite and found the reception center. Then we hung out at the library with the rest of our free time. I loved it!
The reception was out doors. They served ice cream sundaes. Lovely all the way around.

| She is now!!! The focus is off but I love this photo.... the bride ziplining into her future! |
 |
| And when she leaves.... |
 |
| just pack up and go with her! |
On the way home we stopped for a short visit to the coral dunes.
 |
| They are fascinating... lots of specially adapted flora and fauna |
 |
| A very specialized situation causes these dunes and keeps them moving and changing |
 |
| You can sled and sand board on them apparently. |
 |
| The sand is very fine and a consistent texture because only that size of grains of sand can be picked up and carried to just this spot. Bigger grains won't fly in the wind and smaller stay suspended as dust. |
We had a wonderful time. My hubby is still my favorite travel companion!

It is not fair. Not fair that he didn't pass that extraordinary gift to one of his children. Lovely pictures, and I'm glad that you had fun.
Dad is ridiculous with his sense of direction. Ridiculous. And that zipline is amazing! What a fun bride to match such a fun Elder.
What a fun couple (the bride and groom)! Though now that I think about it, you two are a fun couple too!
