Jordan and I were very fortunate to tag along on the church history trip my parents, and McKenzie were taking this Summer. We had been wanting to go on this trip for a while, but only wanted to go if Dad was coming, so we could have "church historian" with us. We had a great time, we saw so much. The stories make so much more sense now, thanks for giving us this opportunity. We love you!
Fun trip... but a VERY long car ride. Thank goodness for portable DVD players, and SUGAR!!
One of our first stops was Mt. Rushmore. Sadly it was rainy and cold, and the monument was covered in clouds. We were a little bummed out as you can tell from the above picture. But after a few hours the clouds lifted, and we were able to see it. It was really neat.
This is a beautiful lake we fell upon, in Custer National Park. This is where National Treasure 2's City of Gold is filmed. It was so beautiful. We could've spent all day here.
The "Needles" at Custer National Park.
Winter Quarters Temple. We just walked around this one.
Pushing the handcart at Martin's Cove
Liberty Jail. "The Prison Temple" (very neat)
McKenzie & Dad playing pioneer games in Nauvoo
Riding in an oxen pulled covered wagon
Carthage Jail
Joseph Smith's Mansion House
The Beautiful Nauvoo Temple. My favorite part of the trip. This temple is AMAZING!Our trip was wonderful! Two things I know for sure... Joseph Smith is a true prophet of God, and the pioneers have my respect, love, and honor.
