Brian and I were asked to be Ma and Pa at Youth Conference again this year. Of course we gladly said yes. The youth are the best. We love doing things with them. So this year it was held at Nauvoo and was a great experience. We had 11 kids in our family this year. McKenzie and Andrew both went this year, but were not in our "family". We had a great group of kids and had a blast.
This is out front of the most popular site. The brickyard.
Trying to have fun in the blazing heat. It was miserably hot and we had to just keep telling them that it was worse for the pioneers even though we wanted to go back to the hotel ourselves. Note to self, don't got to Nauvoo in July.
Had to get a picture of McKenzie in here even though she wasn't in our group. We all ate together.
She went with our family one day to do baptisms and see carthage after they messed up her family names at the temple. Here she is at carthage with some friends.
Another family pic outside of the carthage jail.
The Mississippi River where the saints left Nauvoo.
A picture of the whole group of us. What a fun memory. We loved our little "kids".
That sounds like so much fun. I wish our kids could do something as awesome as Nauvoo.
