Let's start where we left off....This is Lane playing at our ward talent show a couple months ago.
Amelia's Dance pictures
Trent's Grandma Shelton's Funeral
Amelia's Dance Recital
A little tea party
Brayden receiving his Wolf...kinda funny because as part of the ceremony
they paint your face and Brayden wouldn't let them:)
Lane's Kindergarten Graduation
Last days of snuggle time with Grandpa Webb
Last trip to the Denver Zoo
Kids LOVED feeding the Lorakeets
Amelia's Last Dance Class...Savanna itching to join in!
Thanks to Uncle Brian, we inherited some super cool Ninja costumes...
Kids have had a ton of fun in them.
Grandpa teaching kids how to fry ants with a magnifying glass...
Thanks Dad!
Final days of Denver fun!
LET THE MOVE BEGIN!
First stop...Winter Quarters.
WQ Visitor's Center
WQ Cemetary
Tabernacle
Independence, MO Hotel
Hmmm...where do you think he gets this?
I wonder...
Not funny at the moment, but now a little...Amelia zipped her up in this extra blanket bag and then the zipper broke off so Trent had to rip the bag with some fingernail clippers to get her out.
Good morning Sunshine! This is when she popped up out of bed the next morning.
I don't think she got enough sleep.
But someone else sure looks peaceful.
The novelty of the continental breakfast wore off after 7 days
but this was an exciting morning.
Independence Visitor's Center
Adam-Ondi-Ahman
Nauvoo Cabin...Yes, all 8 of slept in the same room,
in a bunk bed and king.
Making our own rope
Pioneer games
Carthage Jail
I wonder if the pioneers let their kids do this?????
Trail of Tears/Hope
Kids beat us to the Mississippi river...
and didn't think to take off their shoes first. Argh!
One of my most favorite moments on this trip. Beautiful sunset
and a large field across the street to play tag and enjoy the view.
If we were a little closer, this cat (C.C. for Cute Cat)
would have probably come with us. She was a stray at our cabin.
Couldn't keep kids away from her and she was super nice.
Dayton, Ohio stop
Texas Road House across the street...Brayden was in heaven.
Kirtland Temple
Niagra Falls
Maid of the Mist...amazing!
Hill Cumorah
Joseph Smith House and Farm
Sacred Grove
MOVING IN! Yikes!
Lane's turn to be in Heaven!
Brayden too..."Nature Boy!"
Trent has wasted no time in working in the yard. He and his dad went straight to mowing the lawn, digging trails in the forest, stacking wood, setting up the hoop, trampoline, and clearing a path for the zip line. I guess the house will have to wait.
I think they will love it here. It will take a little adjusting for me I think to get used to country living with weird things like well water, septic tanks, and little creatures all over the place. Hopefully a tour of Trent's jungle will be coming shortly to entice all to come visit if we haven't already been able to convince you already. We need help finishing the basement too.
