Wedding in Froid


Saturday, June 30, 2012 (Day 225)

We had a good night’s sleep, woke up with the sun and went for a short walk around Froid before it got too hot. Then back to Howie for a leisurely breakfast, and out for a bit more exploring. We found the one and only cache listed in Froid, and then drove back to Culbertson to visit for a short time with Keith..in between his groomsman duties. (Playing basketball, going out to lunch with the guys, etc). It sure is good to see him.

The only cache in Froid was called "Pressure Builder"




We sat outside for lunch, luckily in the shade because the mercury kept rising…probably hit at least 90 today! We watched a mother sparrow feed her babies in the rafters of the picnic shelter…such a hard life!

We went up the road to the Lutheran church for the wedding about 5. It was a beautiful ceremony, and all the kids looked great all dressed up. The minister asked how many of us remembered what the minister said at our own weddings. We looked at each other , smiled and shrugged…nope, we don’t remember. We all seem to remember funny or touching moments, but the minister’s message???

The birdies kept us entertained this afternoon



The reception was in the community hall down the road. There was good food and fun dancing. The Lake Stevens guys were in rare form…dancing and clowning around together. Alan and his new bride Kodi looked radiantly happy.

The men in black (Can you find Keith?)


We walked back to Howie down the moonlit road. The temperature was finally pleasant…at 11 PM as we listen to the Mariners play the Red Sox in extra innings. It’s been a beautiful, joyous day. We’re on our way towards Billings tomorrow.

Total miles driven today=37
