Nauvoo


All three kids hanging out on the top bunk watching TV!



Luke and I on the carriage ride. Everyone else opted out. It is such a fun ride. Maybe next time the two others will want to go! Luke, GG girl, and I stayed home while everyone else went to Rendezvous: a very cute play put on by the senior missionaries.



The best part of the trip is staying in cabins. They are actual pioneer cabins rebuilt and refitted with electricity and kitchens. We love staying there. If anyone ever comes, please tell us, and we will meet you at Nauvoo.

My parents came with us, and they had a great time reliving old memories of their mission. We are probably the only children who want their parents to go back on their mission, so they will be closer to us! Because my parents were with us, we were able to go to the temple. We had a wonderful trip, and I would love to make it a Christmas tradition, with or without my parents!

We went to Nauvoo in April, and my kids loved Rendezvous. Thanks for bringing back the fun memories!
