Nauvoo!

My family got to go to Nauvoo this week! We had a BLAST! We stopped at Independance, Liberty Jail, Haun's Mill, Carthage Jail and many more. We stopped about half way and got a hotel room for the night. We wanted to save money so we put all the girls in one room and all the boys in another. That was a crazy night. But it was fun. We all hung out in the hot tub. Kim and I went to Stake and Shakes at about midnight. Some of us didn't go to bed till 3am! We were just having way too much fun. The next day we took so much time stopping that we didn't get to Nauvoo till late. But thats ok. On Saturday we went to Carthage and then some people relaxed while others went to the temple. Then we all toured and walked around in some shops and went to the book store. That night we went to the Nauvoo Pageant! Before the Pageant they had tons of Pioneer games going on. Stick pulling, sack races, tug-a-war, push carts, puppet shows and tons more. Then the Pageant started. It was AMAZING! I loved every minute of it! The next day was Sunday. We went to the temple and took some pictures. Then we went to Parley Street. The road the saints walked down as they were driven out of Nauvoo. We also visited the Pioneer Memorial and the Pioneer Cemetary. Then we started the long drive home. It was all so worth it though! We had so much fun and we made so many memories :) Me and my nephew, Ethan
