Nauvoo

While in Iowa, we got the awesome opportunity to take a little trip to Nauvoo. We haven't been there since we got married in 2006, so it was really fun to go with our kids. We also weren't able to do a session in the temple when we were married so this time it was a priority. It was such a beautiful experience to be back in that place where my little family started. I love that we are a forever family and that I can have these two sweet kids and my wonderful husband with me after I die. Our picture at the top is at the temple.
The grandparents and Lincoln and Mercedes on the steps of the Nauvoo Temple.
Taking a break in the shade while touring some of the historic sites. It was so humid and hot, that as soon as you stepped out of the air conditioning you felt like you had a layer of sweat.

Linc at the hands on area.
Hailey and I were playing with some of the toys from the 1800s.
My dad on stilts. He did pretty good.
Mercedes and I had to take a couple of extra breaks because I was carrying her in the Moby wrap. It was so hot. All in all it was a fantastic trip and I hope next time we go that we will get to spend a little more time there.
