Nauvoo

Our family trip to Nauvoo was quite eventful...

Tate and Eleece got married! (Brett's brother)

I took this cool tree pic.

We got our free brick at the brick yard.

We went to Carthage jail, where the prophet Joseph Smith was martyred

We went on the RLDS or "Community of Christ" tour, which included the mansion house.

We hung out in "Downtown Nauvoo"

Avery wore the purple beenie Brett made for her for the wedding (purple was Eleece's color)

We went to the temple, so amazing inside!

We saw an original copy of the Book of Mormon.

I put Avery's hair in a ponytail :)

We stayed at Sara's (a family friend) cottage.

We experienced 20 degree weather (hence all the jackets, and scarves, and hats, and boots)

We found the plot of land owned by my great, great...grandfather!

We went to the Mark Twain Museum in Hannibal, MO.

Cass did some sweet poses for us in our St. Louis, MO hotel.


We found out the we had two sets of twins at a subway in Missouri. If only Cass would have worn a chiwawa shirt to match Quinn...darn.
(Note: Me and Chad, fleece jackets and scarfs)

(Brett and Cassie, plaid shirts)

Avery fell asleep at the awesome Italian fast-food Fizzoli's.

We went to a famous custard place in St. Louis, Brett bought a shirt, its yellow.

We went up the St. Louis Arch, in a tiny claustriphobic sphere...and Blake farted.

Yuck, I am disgusted and Avery is in shock.

The arch is pretty much awesome, as long as the people you ride to the top with don't fart in confined spaces.

Our "crew", Brett, Blake, Me, Aunt Cindy, Uncle Dave. We hung out with them about 70%of the time while on the trip. I don't know how this worked out, but it was awesome!

When were you in St. Louis? I was just there myself. I am so jealous that you were in the Nauvoo temple before me. Brett made Avery's beenie? That is amazing.
