NAUVOO {Part 1: People}

Every other year my YSA Stake takes a trip to the historical pioneer sites.
Mainly we were in Nauvoo and spent a few hours at the other places.
These are the pictures of my friends and I on our trip!

Me and Lo 

At Carthage

Fred and "Gee" being goofs at a gas station

Joe and Fred

Kenzie at Pioneer Pastimes

Me and my girls at the temple
L to R: Kat-Y, Shmemily,Joyful, Alice, Lo, Kenzie M., me, and Danay

Joyful and Alice

"Alan" creeping on the bus!

Accidentally bought the wrong size of sweat..YL instead of S..
But we were leaving in the morning, so I made them into capri sweats!

The Greatest Bus Driver on this Earth! Ken Van Kemp!
I almost cried when we had to switch drivers..

Fred, Ry, and I got to meet up with our friend Riley who is on his mission in 
Independence! He gets home in 3 months and the boys are stoked!

The Rescue Squad! One day we went mountain biking and our friend Tommy 
was being stupid and fell off a cliff..Fred and Riley gave him a blessing
and piggybacked him up the hill and the miles to the truck (hence the rescue squad). That night we
 spend 5 ours in the  ER and Tommy shattered his foot and was in a  cast/boot for almost a year!

"Be gangsters!" 

Me and Gee

Happy Family


This is by far my favorite! I always get chosen as the baby
because I'm the smallest!






"Joyful, straighten your back! Ok, now bend your elbow more! 
All right now stick out your chest! Perfect!"


Joyful and Shmemily at the Cultural Hall in Old Nauvoo!


Fred and "Zander" 

Gee and his ice cream! We loved that place and went back frequently!


Alice as a Trader and Trapper!

Duh! (thats what I call him)

Gee found a cookbook made just for him!

Alan, Shanna, Brecca, Krista, Elise,  and Mark

The girls at Adam-ondi-Ahman!
It took about 10 minutes for us to get all of the girls assembled!

The boys

Me and Sara Mae

Fred, Joe, and Justin preaching on the rock where Joseph Smith preached.

Nap time after lunch!

It's hard to stay awake on a bus, Gee would know!

This is my "son" R. Scott. I don't know why but he started calling me Mom.

 
Manda and Gabs showing everywhere we have been!

Me and Alice at the Kansas City Temple!
We went just to eat dinner near it, but ended up being able to do baptisms
for the dead early the next morning! The temple had only been open for 4 days!
It was gorgeous!

Me and my girls! Kenz, Alice, Joyful, Danay, Kat-Y Shmemily, and Lo!

Jump!

Swinging after dinner

Kat-Y thought this sign said "Hotchicks," so we had to take a picture by it!
It really says Hotchkiss.

Playing signs in the hotel parking lot in the middle of the night!

More swinging!

This was an awesome trip! Nauvoo is one of my favorite places! 
If you haven't gone, put it on your list of places to go!
