Old Nauvoo

I couldn't resist posting more pictures of the temple it is so beautiful.





The rest of Nauvoo.....

Nauvoo was a really neat experience. It just breaks your heart for the pioneers to see what a nice place they had to leave. We drove around all the old building seeing things like Brigham Young's house and the old printing shop. Grandma couldn't resist buying Jack a pioneer hat, he looks pretty cute in it. We also got to go and do some geneology and looked up some relatives that died in Nauvoo. It is a big testimony builder to see what the pioneers went through to bring us what we have today.

Far West

On the way home from Nauvoo we happened to pass the sign for Far West, so we pulled over headed that way. It was worth the extra bit of time it took. It was so beautiful, they have a nice marker where the 4 cornerstones to the temple are. Luke and Jack are standing by the marker where it says that Joseph F. Smith was born there. We also saw the last standing cabin that was left. The area was just full of beautiful country. Grandpa is about ready to pack up his stuff and move out there it was so pretty.
