Clouds at sunset in Indiana.

Pat likes the clouds and here is just one of her many cloud pictures.

Spencer said, "I think Grandpa's eyes are bigger than his stomach."

Not the thing you expect to hear from your 6 year old Grandson. But it was a good sandwich.

Grandma AND a Book, what could be better than that???

Grandma was enjoying this too.

A monument to bug catchers everywhere.

Grandma got this great shot after an evening walk.

Grandpa gets drafted to help catch butterflys

This way grandpa he went over there!!! Spencer loves any kind of bug or critter.

Pat, Christine, Dan and Spencer come to visit

After traveling several thousand miles we finally arrive in Indiana to visit with Daughter, Son-in-law and Grandson. It was really good to see all of them. We got to see them often and were there when Spencer started the first grade.

Campground on the White River in Noblesville Indiana

Getting settled in a campground just north of my daughters home in Westfield Indiana. They will be arriving soon.

Tugboat and barges on the Mississippi.

Leaving Nauvoo and the bridge swings open and here comes a tug pushing a full load of barges down the Mississippi. Any misjudgement on the Captains part and the bridge is in serious trouble.

Trek started here.

The restored Browning home.

One of many restored homes of the early saints. If you can take a few days you can see all you want to see.

Buggy ride anyone???

The talent for the other performances was remarkable.

Carthage Jail grounds.

Pat and I in the Carthage visitors center.

Carthage Jail

This is the room that the Prophet Joseph Smith was killed in.

Sister Patterson from Park City Ut.

Sister Patterson was one of the many missionaries serving in Carthage. She had about 3 days before the end of her mission and we were able to hear her bear her testimony on Sunday in Nauvoo.

The real Temple at the end of the pageant.

At the end of the performance the stage temple was lowered and the actual Temple was lit up for the conclusion of the show.

The sets were incredible as was the stage.

The sets and the stage design were engineering miracles. I cannot even imagine how all of this was done.

The children did a wonderful job as well.

Beautiful on the outside and on the inside. It was nice to have time to visit the Temple and attend a session.

Nine miles from Nauvoo IL.

One of our goals was to arrive in Nauvoo before the end of the pageant. We made it with
some time to spare.
