Nauvoo trip


On Thursday we got up early and headed off to Nauvoo about 5am. We reached our destination about 12:30. Not bad. I slept for a lot of it since my sweetie did the driving. On Thursday Sammi, Erin and I went for a walk down the Trail of Hope. At the Seventies Hall we noticed that it was used as a missionary training center. Here's Sammi pointing to that fact.
On Thursday morning Sammi went to a wedding at the temple so the rest of us did baptisms. Here's Tom outside the temple.


In the Christmas store we found Uncle Saul. Here's Sammi and Andrew posing for a picture with him.

We love to stay in the Pountain home while in Nauvoo. It's right next to the Riser Boot Shop. We love this old home mostly because it is in the heart of Old Nauvoo and not at all like staying in a hotel. Here are my loveable children posing with their best faces in the livingroom.
Erin and Sammi on the banks of the Mississippi River in late afternoon. It wasn't too hot and muggy while we were there which was a bonus.
We had a wonderful time as usual and our time there was much too short. I feel so blessed to have been in the temple with all of my children last week.
