The Rest of Nauvoo

I wasn't as good after Pioneer Pastimes with taking pictures but we went on a Ox-drawn wagon ride, Denise, Kim and I attended the temple, we ate some yummy food, watched the pageant, slept, got rained on, learned about shoe making, brick making, wagon and blacksmithing, watched a wonderful movie about Joseph and the Saints and then headed home.

It was a wonderful two days and a very needed break for me.  I always love Nauvoo but there was a special peace there this time for me.  I felt the Lord so close so many times, I am so very grateful.  I love that place so much.

Here are some more fun pictures.

We thought Chandler was going to cry when she had to take the dress off - I will be making them one soon.

The Elder told Jaron, Simeon and Chandler since they were in the front that they had to watch out for bears and Indians.  Chandlers asked if that happened often and the poor Elder replied every once in a while.  This was Chandlers face following that comment.

Pre-pageant I took just a few photos - here is Josiah.

Bowling anyone?
