Alaska Day 1 & 2

We flew in late to Vancouver the night before our cruise.
In the morning we headed to the cruise ship to drop off our bags, then we rented some bikes and road around Stanley Park.






The next day was a day at sea, so we played some games, went to a show, and some people sang karaoke.






We have been planning this cruise for so long it is crazy that we are really here!

Flagstaff

Since we were in Flagstaff we decided to make a little trip out of it. What is a trip with out a little hiking. Our first hike on our first day there we went to Walnut Canyon national monument.
It was pretty amazing with the ruins built right into the cliffs.





On our way home after the wedding we stopped at Wupatki national monument. These were also pretty awesome!




Our last stop was at the Grand Canyon, Desert Tower. We have always talked about going to the Grand Canyon...now we have. Jaycee says we should do the Rim to Rim hike. I am pretty sure my knees would not make it.





It was so fun celebrating Parson and Emma, and it was nice that we could get out and enjoy some of what Arizona had to offer. It was beautiful, and did not disappoint!

Parson and Emma's Wedding

Man, these kids are starting to drop like flies!
We had so much fun celebrating Parson and Emma in Flagstaff!
They got married at Emma's Grandma house on August 24th, and it was beautiful!
Another amazing ceremony that had us in tears. 
Matt was the officiator, so that was fun! 




After the beautiful ceremony they had Costa Vida catered for their luncheon. It was so fun being together with most of the family. 







I love how close these cousins are! I hope they can always be this close.
For their reception they had ice cream sundays. Yumm!
We all had a fun time dancing and being silly.
When Emma came out for the send off she had cut her hair! That was a fun little surprise.



On September 7th they had a reception in South Weber.
So we had more fun with games and dancing.
They also had sugar waffles which were delish!
