Nauvoo

I wanted to make the final weekend before school was supposed to start worthwhile. I saw on the church website that the Nauvoo pageant and thought perfect, we'll check out the pageant and explore Nauvoo. As the weekend drew closer, we decided the late night of the pageant was out for this year but we still wanted to go explore. This was Navie's first time and she was such a good listener to all the presentations. We met up with Aunt Carolyn, Uncle Wes, and Parker. The girls had a great time dressing up and playing pioneer games. The grown ups had a good time as well, of course. Parker did not so much enjoy sitting and listening to the missionaries talk about life in Nauvoo. She did some exploring on her own and found a much more exciting mud puddle. And what trip to Nauvoo would be complete without going up to see the temple. (I should not be in charge of pictures but I am the best we have). We were all hungry by this point so there was not much desire to pose for gorgeous pictures in front of the temple. But we had a great time. Now that we live in the mid-south we can go back again and again.
