Whilst we had Mike's parents in town, we planned a trip to Nauvoo-somewhere we've been wanting to visit for 8 years since we moved here but never did. We stopped in Independence on the way and saw the visitor's center and Liberty Jail. In Nauvoo, Mike's mom had rented a house that the kids loved! All four little beds up in the attic room made them very happy indeed. My sister Lauryn and her kids joined us in Nauvoo and she was able to babysit for us so we could attend the temple with Mike's parents. What a beautiful temple! (I fell in love with the red, white and blue stars and the woodwork is amazing!) It rained on us while touring old Nauvoo, but it didn't dampen our spirits-the kids had a blast dressing as pioneers, playing pioneer games and visiting all the shops. On the way back home, we visited Carthage Jail and Adam-ondi-ahman. It was a wonderful and spiritual vacation.
i love your picture collage. We had a blast at Nauvoo last year. It is a great place.
