Nauvoo Time!

This year our Anniversary fell on a saturday which just happen to be the day of the youth temple trip so we packed up the kids and headed to Nauvoo!  It was so much fun.  Bryan and I went and did a session in the Temple with some friends while their children watch ours.  It was awesome!  It was really fun to be there on our actual anniversary at almost the same time we got sealed 11 years earlier!  It was the first time we were able to go back on our actual anniversary day!  Anyway after we got done we hung out with Bryan and our friends while we waited for the youth to show up and them they all went to the temple.  Bryan got to go help so I was able to spend some quality time with my sweet kids!
We went and got fudge and went to the park and then after some begging we walked over the huge hill in front of the Temple and they got to roll down the hill!  They had a blast!  Then we went on a walk down to Old Nauvoo. 
There weren't many people touring the houses so alot of the Missionaries were sitting outside and talking.  It was fun to see them all.  At one house there was an Elder sitting outside playing hymns on his guitar.  So the kids went up and asked him to play a couple songs and then sang along with him.  It was really awesome!
It was a long, long, long walk.  And I carried Colby a huge chunk of the time, but I had to make him walk some of the way!  By the time we made it back to the top of the hill Colby refused to walk anymore!  He just stopped and started crying and saying "I know walk more mom.  I stay.  You hold me mom?"  I felt bad for him but it was so funny!
 Bryan had just gotten done when we got back so he took pity on Colby and walked out to pick him up!
