Our trip is coming to an end and I have been slow to keep up. Nauvoo was a wonderful place to go!! There was so much to do. Each day we crossed the mighty Mississippi River from our hotel in Keokuk Iowa to spend the day in Nauvoo. We saw plays, took tours of the historic buildings and homes, went to the graves of Joseph, Hyrum and families, went into the lands and records office and found the home sites of Howard Egan on Richards side, and the Daltons on my side. We ate a wonderful dinner at the Hotel Nauvoo, saw a blacksmith demonstration....and even got our very own prarie diamonds!!
Jon and Josh have been pure treasures on this trip. They have not complained that they were bored, or how much driving we were doing. Here they are on our 10 hour drive from Kirtland Ohio to Nauvoo Illinois.
The sister missionary had Josh come up and demonstrate what the pioneers used to carry water from the wells.
This is what a wagon would have carried on the trail. Rarely did the pioneers sit on the wagons. They walked, and walked and walked......
There was a beautiful Monument to Women with about 15 statues of women at their different stages of life. Here is a mother with her children....one of my favorites.
We love to have our picture taken at the differnt visitors centers of the church. Each has a Christus statue, Christ being the center of our Church.
. We had a grand time, but could have stayed a week to see more.ON0BguzuEc/s1600-h/101_0131.JPG)
