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!
