Visit to Old Nauvoo

What better way to spend the day than walking around Old Nauvoo together. We changed our clothes after the baptism, had some lunch and headed off to Nauvoo. We loved seeing all the sites again - hoping the older kids would remember and the younger ones would learn. 

We learned about making wagons...

and the blacksmith made a horseshoe.

Sweet little cows!

Visits to different homes.


Love this family of mine!

Young performers make the visit so fun!


Harmonie keeps telling us she wants to play the tuba,
and was so excited to see one!





These kids know how things work and
they know how to work!









Pioneer past times is always a favorite stop!















Of course, we had to stop at the Family Living Center, 
for bread and other activities.




The beautiful temple on the hill!

It was Pageant time so we were able to enjoy all those activities as well.

They were used to this - from their Trek experience.


Even some coloring - what sweet kids!


Potato sack races - the other pictures were very blurry.
She just had to finish.

We enjoyed the play about the building of up of Nauvoo. It was too dark or pictures but we enjoyed it. We had dinner before the pageant at a little place in town, so at least we were starving. It was a long afternoon/night but so much fun!

Family Time in Nauvoo

We decided that we would stay over at my parent's house in Keokuk for the weekend so Saturday we drove to their house, stayed Sunday to go to church with them and after lunch we went to Nauvoo. Since it was Sunday they weren't doing a lot of things but they still showed us everything. Good thing we've been there before the the kids could picture it all in their minds (most of them anyway). It was a nice warm day but we survived with the air conditioning inside.

First stop was the Family Living Center.



Bread

Candles


Rope


Pottery

Barrels


Then we stopped at the bakery.

Last stop - the temple!




My buddy as we walked around the temple.

We left my parent's house Monday morning and made it home without any issues! Our first long family vacation where nothing went wrong with Harvey! What a blessing! After all the money we spent on him I am glad to see that he is doing so well! It was a great end to a wonderful vacation with family!
