I have been to Nauvoo three times now.
It has gotten better each time.
I was astounded at the programs set up for those visiting.
The first evening was the counrty fair.
I wish it had lasted a bit longer.
It was complete with...
...music and dancing, doll making,
log sawing, and
pioneer games.
James thought his stilts made better guns then legs.
That night, after the pageant, we camped, 6 of us in one tent.
Thanks to my Mom's good attitude,
we actually laughed ourselves to sleep in the 100 degree, thunderstorm brewing weather.
We woke up the next morning to about 8,761,234,087,614,598 fat mosquitoes who also took residence in our tent.
We quickly collapsed the tent on them and drove to the closest hotel for the next night.
It was probably around 50 degrees in the hotel room when we left it.
Anyways, back to the resources in Nauvoo.
Anna was tickled to ride on the ox and horse carriages.
The children's marching band was probably the cutest thing I've ever seen.
It just made you want to get up and join the cute little lambs.
The one stop the boys sat completely quiet and motionless in was the Browning House.
They were just disappointed they couldn't really make a gun and take it home.
We left Nauvoo with our token
brick,
prairie diamond,
gingerbread cookie,
and kid spun rope.
But, Nauvoo left us with so many fond memories and a spirit of sacrifice.
Farewell Beautiful City.
