Chris and Alyona wedding in Seattle

Rick and I left last Tues, March 18 for Seattle. Our flight was delayed in Austin due to bad weather in Denver. Our flight out of Denver was also delayed so we made the connection and was only a few hours late into Seattle.

We met Scott and Jessica at the rental house, then went shopping for some groceries.
Everyone else started showing up on Wed, with the final person for our group Squirt on Sat morning, and a friend of Alyona's early Sat afternoon. 
We all had a great time and the wedding was wonderful. We met her parents, very nice people, but because they don't speak English and we don't speak Russian, we unfortunately couldn't communicate much.

Stella and Macy were flower girls, and looked so adorable walking down the aisle dropping their paper flower petals (couldn't use real flowers, rice, bird seed, confetti to throw at them, so we had bubbles and attached confetti).

Being on the boat was fun, the food was great, the Bishop had a nice ceremony - we are just so happy to welcome Alyona as our daughter.

Sunday we spent doing ferrying runs to the airport, the first drop off was Squirt (Kristi) at 4 am or so, and the last was 1pm for Jason, Kenny, and Adam.
Rick and I and Scott and Jess were the last to leave at 9am and 11am Tues. It was fun hanging out at the airport with them waiting for our flights.
Chris and Alyona were supposed to leave yesterday after getting packed, they're driving with her parents to South Jordan.

This was taken off the deck of the rental house looking out. The water is an inlet of the Pacific Ocean.
I'm going to have to wait for pics from other people to post, as I really didn't take that many.
