Our original plan was to check into our motel & then go to Nauvoo for the rest of the afternoon/evening. But since it was so late, we went right to Nauvoo. The temple is sooooo beautiful!! (of course)
this is the statue of Joseph & Hyrum as they are leaving Nauvoo (for the last time) heading to Carthage.
Sun stones w/trumpets & the stars
and the moons
Brienna & Zane walking around the temple.

So beautiful--but super hot!
The kids at the Mississippi River--touching it & throwing in rocks.
Ben, Callum Brienna, Emmalee & Zane
Pamela had to go get a picture also!
(I will probably edit this since I don't have Pamela's pictures on my computer yet & she took some pictures with her camera)
