Nauvoo

So, my dad and I went to Nauvoo this past Saturday and I took some pictures. I love you all and miss you. But look forward to seeing you soon!

No trip would be right if I didn't get to climb on something! I guess the bench will have to do. I think I like this statue. Just a guess.
I layed on the ground to get this picture. In the grass and in a white skirt, Gasp!
A very cool temple!

This is a cool statue of Joseph and Hyrum. My dad is reading the story. I guess this is them riding to carthage for the last time. They are talking about the future of the Saints.

My dad didn't know that I took this till after the fact. :) Dad!! I'm not on the temple grounds right now. You can see the gate in the background that is an entrance.
This is one of the many entrances onto the temple grounds. They had some flowers, but mostly it was a large lawn of really green grass.

You can't see the river behind us because of the sun, but it is there. And, yes, I am wearing nylons. Ick!
Cool building, cool flowers. This is another church a couple blocks from the temple. I rememer they let us use their parking for the open house when we came up for that in 2002. It is a pretty building.
This is the Mississippi River. We had pulled over not to take a picture of the river, but to backtrack and get a picture of some roadkill!
This is the roadkill. It was a raccoon. All of it's four legs were sticking up and you can't really tell from this picture but it has its tongue sticking out. It was classic and you could tell by driving by it so I stopped and got a picture.
