We recently realized how close we are now living to Nauvoo, IL. For anyone not affiliated with our religion, this area holds significant meaning to our church's history. Each July they have a pageant that explains the many events which took place here. We were fully aware that with a six week old and two year old we weren't attending under the most convenient of circumstances, however, we also could not allow the opportunity to pass us by. On Saturday afternoon we headed up and decided to just make it a one day trip, knowing we can return a few months from now to enjoy the area when it's no longer crowded and busy. It was a wonderful experience for all of us but I believe Ryley and Kadyn enjoyed it the most. They are a perfect age not only to appreciated a musical but to understand some of our church's history and the bitter/sweet events that took place in that area nearly two hundred years ago. We are so grateful for the many individuals that made such great sacrifices for all those coming after them.
