Our family went to Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, and Okalahoma! Wow!! We had so much fun together. The girls were so excited to be together again after Katie returned from BYU. There was plenty of laughter to go around during our long trip. We were able to spend time in Nauvoo and see the beautiful sights including the temple. We went to carthage and Far West and all the great church historical sights. We were most fascinated with the giant cornfields that covered two states. We had never seen corn that tall, so we stopped to take a picture. The locals laughed as they drove by and saw a van load of Texans take a picture of corn!
At Nauvoo Megan was able to live her dream of being with horses. This particular horse loved Megan! He was cracking us up because he kept eating the fence. Strange diet for a horse. Katie became a tree hugger, Michala fell and skinned her knee and Rich became graceful at walking on stilts! As for me, I have become the resident photographer.
Here is my family skipping rocks into the Mississippi river. It was beautiful to see the sunset on the Mississippi. We hope to travel more often and see this beautiful country. Next stop....New York!
