Utah Trip

We spent 2 weeks traveling to Utah, visiting with family, and coming home. We couldn't do everything we wanted, and some things were done that shouldn't have happened, but in all it was a good trip. Lee's grandma died while we were visiting, so we had the chance to go to the funeral.



We had a great time riding the 4 wheelers up at Monte Cristo. The kids had a blast!
We had to visit The Dinosaur park with the cousins while we were there.
Throwing sticks and rocks in the river up at the cabin is always a favorites with all kids and cousins. They could spend hours there.
We had an awesome experience pulling a handcart while we stopped in Nauvoo for a few days. It was actually a very difficult trail, and our kids did a super job. Carson pulled the handcart the whole way, and never complained. We were very dirty and muddy, but glad for the adventure.

We had to walk down and visit the Mississippi River.


The kids LOVED dressing up as pioneers. They had so much fun playing games children used to.



The Nauvoo temple was so beautiful. We loved the outside and the inside. (Lee and I were able to go inside).



They tried to keep the outside an exact replica of how they originally built it.



I love to see the temple. It is so peaceful, and such a great comfort to me.



P.S. Thanks for reading my blog even though it is private now!:)
