Nauvoo the Beautiful (and the hot!)

In June we visited Nauvoo with our friends the Gessels. It is just over a five hour drive from Milwaukee so we really wanted to go while we are close. Colb had been before, but it was my first time so I was really excited. We went the one weekend we had at home before Colby started rotations. It was a quick trip and the heat and humidity were on the verge of unbearable, but we got to see the sights and do a temple session so it was definitely worth it!

 

 

Drink, please?

Carthage is only 20-30 minutes away, so since I hadn't been there Colb and I got up early Saturday morning and made a quick trip. It was one of my favorite parts.

This is a neat picture taken through the bullet hole in the door at Carthage Jail where Joseph Smith was killed.

 We did a babysitting swap so we could all get a temple session in. These two kept us moving and multiple people asked if they were twins.
