Trip to Nauvoo, Illinois (Warning lots of Pictures)

We went to Old Nauvoo and Chicago over Spring Break this year. It was a lot of fun to see all the church history sites and have fun in the big city too. I will let the pictures share what we did and saw....

Carthage, Illinois at the Carthage Jail where Joseph and Hyrum Smith were martyred.

The Printshop!

Mariah and Mikayla at the Red Brick Store and then we went to a waterfall that goes to the Mississippi River...that was a good way to end the day. The kids loved playing in the water. Tristan kept asking to take off his cast so he could get wet.
He doesn't understand it doesn't come off.
