In June we took a weekend trip to Nauvoo, IL. We left and arrived late on Friday night, then spent Saturday and Sunday morning looking at LDS Church History sites.
We arrived at night and drove past the temple before going to our B&B.
The next day we went to the visitor center and watched a band concert by the performing missionaires. Marcus loved it!!
Here is Marcus enjoying the band.

Statue of Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum Smith. This is them leaving for Carthage.
While Marcus took his afternoon nap I was able to go do a session at the temple. It was so beautiful and much needed.
We went on a wagon ride to see all the different historic places in Nauvoo. I'm glad we went since we didn't have time to walk around to see everything. Next time we'll see more.
This is a ferry like the ones they used to cross the Mississippi River when heading west.

We were in Nauvoo on Father's Day! This is Marcus helping Daddy open his present. What a wonderful father he is!!
