28Apr11 Nauvoo Part 1

We went from Kansas to Nauvoo, Illinois to visit all the historical sites there. We arrived and decided to start off at the visitors' center. We went in briefly but soon realized the kids have been cooped up and just needed to run. We walked in the Monument to Women Garden and then visited a couple of sites before heading to our hotel.

Jean-Louis loved the flowers.
So much that we couldn't keep him away. ha
Marie-Eve insisted on posing with each statue.
So of course, Stephane did too.

They have a new place (at least since the last time I was there over 10 yrs ago) called the Family Living Center. Here they showed you how they made things to live during the time of old Nauvoo.
Stephane pretending to make a candle.
Making rope. Marie-Eve was turning the rope on one end and...
Stephane was turning on the other end.
Showing off the candle and rope.

I loved Nauvoo it was such a awesome place. you could really feel the spirit there. The carthage Jail was really cool too.
When you going to post more of your trip? I have been waiting. Your kids have really grown up especially Marie-eve. Love your pictures. You guys look like you had a lot of fun.
