Hill Cumorah Set

The set looks so impressive on the steep hillside. This picture doesn't do it justice. It is made of some kind of plastic siding material. I wondered why the plastic until we saw the pageant. They use a LOT of water during the performance.

We're happy to see Rayla!

We went to cumorah first thing & met up with Rayla. The kids were so excited to see her.

Sleepyheads!

Today was our longest travel day. We left St. Louis at 4:30 in the morning. We arrived here in Palmayra at about 11:30 at night. We're all excited that we get to sleep in tomorrow!

We thought this was very interesting. This restaurant in Kirtland had just burned that morning. Take a close look at the last line of words on their sign.

Whitney Home in Kirtland

We stopped to see the temple in Kirtland Ohio. It was sad to see that they made no reference to Joseph Smith.

We finally arrived in St. Louis to stay at Ann & Aaron's house. The kids couldn't wait to get out of the car & get in the pool!
