Safford Reunion

Sarah got her face painted at the Safford High School reunion we went to on Friday night. Safford is where Lars grew up until his senior year in high school, when they moved to Albuquerque. It was a reunion for all the graduates in any year, which was kind of fun to see people from 18 to 81 there. We took off on Friday around 1:00 p.m. and got there about 5:00 because there was a bad accident that blocked the road so we had to drive about an hour out of the way to get around it. There was a bar-b-que dinner from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. and then the high school homecoming football game was from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. That was the first football game I've been to since I was in high school! Lars saw some of his former classmates, but no one I knew. There is one girl from his class, Michelle Clark, who happened to move to Cincinnati and was in our chuch ward when we were in Ohio. She still lives in Cincinnati and was apparently at the reunion, but we didn't run into her. Too bad! There was going to be a parade on Saturday, a pep rally, and a dance, but we came back home Friday night instead of staying over - all the hotels were full.
