The boys were SO excited to fly in an airplane that they were in the car by 6 a.m.!
Our first stop was Kansas City, MO. Check out all those Taylor cousins!
"Elder" Grandpa Taylor gave us a great wagon ride and tour of Nauvoo.
Learning how to make candles from "Sister" Grandma Taylor.
Don't let that innocent smile fool you. Carson enjoyed terrorizing Nauvoo -- picking flowers, running around at all of the sites, and yelling inappropriate things (like "Stupid Baby!) during spiritual moments.
Cameron said he was "making crepes" for all of the kids at the pioneer park.
No, this handcart really isn't that heavy. Nauvoo is just a super sweaty place!
The chaos before a family picture. (I'm not sure who took this photo since Jason and I are in the picture? It's another Nauvoo mystery!)We just loved the temple. Especially our VIP tour by Pres. Spencer Condie! Those Taylors are the stars of the mission, and they arranged this little surprise for us.
Nauvoo is a magical place. You can feel the spirit of the pioneers so strongly there. We are so grateful to our missionary Grandpa and Grandma who provided this amazing week for us!
