Nauvoo

This Easter weekend Chad and I decided to take a trip to Nauvoo to see the sites and enjoy the temple. We stayed in the Willard Richard Home. That was a different experience (with the bathroom across the hall and no locks on the doors). We had fun and were happy that we finally made a little time to tour all of different buildings that we hadn't been able to see yet. Here are some of the things we saw...

Ever wonder where the phrase sleep tight don't let the bed bugs bit came from? Well, these people knew it was essential to tighten the ropes before going to bed.

Rachel's learning all about Jonathan Browning and his gun making skills.

Chad's teaching Elijah all about how to preach in the Hall of the Seventies, which was the first MTC.


Rachel and I on the Oxen Ride.

We're ready to make our way across the plains! We learned all about why the pioneers preferred oxen over horses.

This was the common room of the Willard Richard home where we stayed.
