Nauvoo, the land of ice and snow

 

We went to the LDS Temple in Nauvoo, Illinois last week.  We were greeted by lots of snow.  Here is Jace just across the street from the temple by the Joseph Smith and Hyrum monument.  It is about 5:00PM and the sun is starting to set over the Mississippi River in the background.

 

 

While I was doing a session Ryan and the kids went to a few historical sites. They made a rope, visited the pioneer bakery and ate gingerbread cookies and went on  what the kids described as a long, cold wagon ride!! They had a blast. I sent Ryan with the camera and he forgot to use it, so I have ZERO pictures to post.   

 

 

When it was my turn to watch the kids while Ryan went on a session, we went to the visitor's center and played with the toys. 

 

 

I found this on my computer from last summer, and I am trying to remember what  is feels like to wear a short shirt and sandals.  We have been heavily bundled around here for what seems like eternity this year....and there is no end in sight according to weather.com.  It did get up to 30 degrees today, why am I complaining.

And here are the kids playing with the visitor center's toys and the end of a boring post from the land of ice and snow.  We hope when the weather warms up that we have a little more excitement around here.
