We decided to take the boys over the long weekend to Nauvoo and Carthage for our last big visit. We spent Friday night and Saturday in Nauvoo. Jared and I both did sessions at the temple. Then we went around Nauvoo and visited the sights. We took the horse and carriage ride around Nauvoo and saw some beautiful scenery. Saturday night we went to the performance of Sunset on the Mississippi. It was great fun. The kids participated in a children's parade and Jared even went on stage when the gave tribute to all the branches of military. The weather couldn't have been better, we even needed light jackets. Sunday we went to church in Nauvoo and then to Carthage Jail. It was a nice weekend. We really feel blessed to have lived so close to this wonderful church sight and we will miss it.

What a fun weekend. Nauvoo is such a tender place isn't it? I am glad you got to spend some time there before you leave -- boo hoo for us.
How fun! How did you make that picture layout? It's so cute. Your boys are so handsome. I told Hannah, she could pick from either one. Both are acceptable!
