nauvoo day two

for our second day in nauvoo we started out the day by seeing a kid friendly play called anna amanda.  this play was so cute and very entertaining for kids and adults.  even crazy tanner man stayed in my lap and watched the whole thing.

obviously i didn't get any pictures, but i did of us hanging out right after.

kids will find any way to entertain themselves.

during nap times we did a little switcheroo again so the rest of us could attend the temple. it was so nice to stop for a bit with no kids and be inside this beautiful temple.

this is a statue of joseph and hyrum.  as they were riding away from nauvoo for the last time, joseph looked back at nauvoo and told his brother that the saints here had to no idea what trials lay ahead of them.

after the temple and naps, we took all of the rested kids to visit pioneer pasttimes. this was a great place for kids to visit!  the kids could dress up, play pioneer games, and sit on these pretend sheep.  katelyn is a little upset in this picture because she wants to be on the sheep, not standing next to it.

before our nauvoo trip ended i really wanted a group picture.  who knows when we'll all be together again.

the granparents with the kids.  i just love my mom.  i told all of the adults behind the camera to make silly faces so the kids would look.  my mom joined in on the fun.

we ended our last full day in nauvoo with s'mores, hotdogs and a family talent show.  the family talent show was so fun.  everyone geared their acts towrads the kids and got their whole families involved.
