- BEAUTIFUL YOSEMITE

This morning we woke up early (5:00 a.m.) and drove to Yosemite for our friend Amanda Natali's wedding.

I always love this view of El Capitan as you enter the park. It's breathtaking!

This is the first time we've been to the park this late in the year. The leaves were changing color and the scenery was amazing.

Yosemite is one of my favorite places. It is so beautiful here!

Unfortunately, Yosemite Falls is dry this time of year. Not even a trickle. I guess that's why we like to come in the spring.

We had some time to kill before the wedding started, so we drove around and took some photos. It was pretty bright and we had both forgotten our sunglasses. Here's squinty Kurt....

and squinty, windblown Tami.

Here is Ron Natali escorting his daughter, Amanda down the walk for the ceremony.

Amanda looked beautiful. I've never seen her so happy.

Mike and Amanda and Amanda's Bishop as he performs the ceremony.

It's official - Mr. and Mrs. Michael Adams!

Mike and Amanda with the best man (help me out with his name someone) and maid of honor, Jeanna Natali.

Ron and Marlyne Natali - parents of the bride. It was so nice to see them. They moved to the Logan, Utah area a few years ago.

Ken Natali (Amanda's brother) with his daughter Peyton. We've known him since he was a little boy. It's fun to watch him be a dad now.

Ron and Kurt catching up on the last couple of years.

The reception was held in the Mountain Room at the Yosemite Lodge.

The view from the dining room was unbelievable.

The food was amazing - we expected no less since the bride and groom are both professional chefs.

We sat with the Strombergs. Kirk was our Bishop in Tracy. We had a great time catching up and blowing bubbles and toasting the bride and groom with pink lemonade.

The wedding cake was beautiful and DELICIOUS!!!!!

Mike and Mandy requested a bubble send off.

That's exactly what they got!

We wish them both many years of love and happiness together!
