Maria and our children recently came to visit me in Chicago. We took the kids to Nauvoo since we were so close.Our first stop was Carthage Jail. We went on the tour and heard the story of the assault by the mob on the jail.
We walked through the jail and took this picture in front of the window Joseph fell out of.
We went to Nauvoo after visiting Carthage.
We dressed up like pioneers and played pioneer games.
We walked down the Trail of Hope and looked back at the Temple like the Pioneers did as they left Nauvoo. We also rode in a Wagon pulled by Oxen.
We sat out front of the Temple and talked about all the Pioneers gave up when they left and how special Temples are and walked up and let the kids touch the Temple.
We got to participate in all kinds of activities. We watched the Nauvoo Pagent and many other skits. We visited many of the shops to learn how the pioneers made things themselves and saw how they lived. Christy and I got to dance Pioneer dances and Christy danced with one of the Pagent actors.
Wow, it looks like you guys had a ton of fun!!! Lol I love how you stick out of your family pictures! It won't be long before your kids start catching up to you though huh? I sure love you big brother!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome family vacation. I can't believe how tall your kids are...Christy is taller than Maria??? I really loved the family photo of you all dressed up and the sweet picture of you talking with Christy and James in front of the Temple. We sure do miss you Kevan and Maria and we are so glad you posted the pictures.
