We went on a quick trip to Nauvoo with our family and Jared. We'd never been before, so it was pretty fun. We were late in booking a place to stay, so the only vacation rental available pretty much was a mile or so away from downtown Nauvoo right on the Mississippi River. When we got there, we could not believe this little gem. It looked just like a storybook house from Snow White. The inside had been all remodeled and was so neat. The walls, doors, and windows inside and out looked like they were from a storybook. Even the bathroom was so quaint and fun that we couldn't help but have to try out the old fashioned bathtub. It was too big for our group and we wished we could spend more time there. But now we know, and next time we can book that same little house.
Before the Nauvoo pageant they had a fair. They had all kinds of fun pioneer games for the kids and activities from the time the pioneers were in Nauvoo. The kids enjoyed that. Nate and I got to pull all the 4 big kids in a real handcart, just as our Martin Handcart company ancestors had done. That was a neat experience.
When the pageant finally began, everyone was pretty exhausted. Jaxton was getting mosquito bites all over his body. And the other 4 kids all fell asleep during the pageant. Nonetheless, it was a fun experience. I'm glad we got to go. It would be really neat to be in the pageant someday and join the family cast.
The next morning we visited the Nauvoo temple before heading home. It was beautiful!
