Nauvoo with the Kimballs

My sister Rachelle came with her husband Kyle and their kids out to Nauvoo on vacation this summer. We were able to go down with them and enjoy being together.


It was a beautiful clear day with blue skies and not a cloud in sight. Don't believe me, you should. This picture is simply a result of humidity in Iowa. Bleh!

We started off by going to the Just Plain Anna Amanda show.


There was some dancing involved.



Then we checked out the Family Living Center.

Jet liked the sheep.


He also likes to balance on balls.

And run around circular benches.


He got the girls involved.

Then everyone had to check out the sheep.



The big kids made rope.


Time to walk on the Trail of Hope. This is the route the people of Nauvoo had to travel to cross the river in February when they were driven out of Nauvoo.



The Mighty Mississippi!




Jet was a little tired.


The Kimball clan!










Pictures at the Nauvoo Temple were a lot of fun.














We visited the old Post Office and the kids got to try a water carrying yoke thing.




Riding in the carriage was a big favorite.




No kissing!


A bunch of pelicans were hanging out in the water.



This turtle was a lot faster than I expected him to be.



Our last stop was Carthage Jail to see where Joseph and Hyrum Smith were martyred.





It is a very serious place.
