I thought before it gets too late...
I should really post a few pictures from our wonderful trip to Nauvoo!
It was a great opportunity to take our family there for the first time in August.
Although, Landon & I had been there before, this was our first time since the Temple has been built. And can I just say how absolutely lovely it is!! Landon and I were able to take in a session, leaving Sis in charge of the boys back at the hotel...what a blessing that was! Thanks Sis!!
I won't lie...it was an incredibly LONG drive, but oh SOOOOOOOOOOOO worth it! I know for our entire family it was a very faith promoting and testimony building experience.
How much more appreciative we are of our pioneer heritage!!
I am grateful we were actually able to take this trip.
(We had been worried about the price of gas and the flooding from earlier in the summer.)
Pushing the hand cart in Winter Quarters.
Outside the Kearns Tabernacle where the Brigham Young was
sustained the 2nd Prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Walking down the "Trail Of Hope" leading to the Mississippi River
where the Saints caught the ferry to leave Nauvoo.
Posing with the oxen before we took a wagon ride in Nauvoo.
The Beautiful Nauvoo Temple.
Swimming Fun every night at each hotel!
Our family outside of Carthidge Jail where Joseph Smith Jr. was shot and killed.
Our family at Liberty Jail.
On the way home we stopped in Hannibal, Missouri
for a ride down the Mississippi River on a Steamboat!
Our last stop was in Colorado Springs, Colorado where we visited the Air Force Academy and saw the coolest Indian Cave Dwellings!

Did I do something wrong???? This post took me like 3 hours to create!! Is there some way to import the pictures directly to the spot I want them? Or even if I could some how maximize the screen so I could place them where I wanted them easier than scroll, scroll, scroll!! Any help from the experts out there would be terrific! THANKS :D
No, it seriously takes THAT long if you are doing like more than one picture. Stinks huh!
Looks like you guys had super duper fun! I am so jealous!
Looks like you guys had a blast!! Did you go see the polygomy colonies in Colorado Springs-Chad's favorite thing to do there-oh maybe that is actually Colorado City! Anyway, I have never been back east (besides PA to visit my sister) I would so love to go someday. Tell Kaylinn I love her dark hair! Have so much fun at Bear Lake!!!
I also meant to say-cute blog!! You are getting good fast! You also got a ton of darling family pictures-I am impressed.
Wow, I'm jealous. It looks like you guys had a really good time.
We would love to do that! Maybe one day we'll go & I'll be calling you for traveling & site seeing tips!
How fun! I'm so glad everything worked out and you were able to go. I love Kaylinn's dark hair. When did she do it?
I wish I would have known you were going to the Air Force Academy. I have a nephew there that could have shown you around and I could have sent a package for you to give him.
Looks like fun times. I thought the pic with everyone holding hands was so cute. And you look awesome btw.
