1st Summer Trip to Nauvoo

At the beginning of May we took a trip to Nauvoo. My parents flew to Omaha for Beckham's blessing and Spencer's white coat ceremony. But before those two events we spent a couple of days in Nauvoo. We had so much fun taking carriage rides, touring the sites, swimming, attending the temple and just spending time together. Cohen loved hanging out with his cousins too.

Cohen driving the car while we were waiting to go to the Rendezvous at Old Nauvoo performed by the couple missionaries. Prior to the show we went to the buffet...it was so delicious but we had to eat really fast so we didn't miss the show. We ended up missing it anyway and waiting an hour to attend the next one.

Steve, Afton and Brooksie excited for the show. Stephen shaved his beard later that night and left a sweet Pedro looking mustache that only a few of us got to witness.

Mom and Dad equally excited.

Spence, Nikki & Beckham...is it bright Spence?

Nauvoo Temple

Us outside Carthage jail. It was a very spiritual experience and awesome to see Nauvoo. I'm so grateful for the prophet Joseph Smith and all that he did in restoring the gospel of Jesus Christ in these Latter-Days.
