We started our adventure on Monday with a trip to Carthage. Aaron's folks were given permission to give us a tour.
Here are the boys in front of Joseph and Hyrum, who were both killed while in Carthage Jail.
Grandpa had a replica of the keys to the dungeon cell, so we got to open it up.
Then we went to the room that Joseph and Hyrum were martyred in. While Grandpa was telling us the story and giving the play by play about how John Taylor then rolled under the bed, Blake (who was sitting right in front of the bed) looked under the bed and said to Aaron, "Dad, there is no one under the bed."
The window to the left is the window.
This is the door and the bullet hole from the bullet that got Hyrum.

Our tour guides did a great job.
We then drove back to Nauvoo, changed clothes and went to the Nauvoo temple. Grandma, Grandpa, and Becki watched all the kids while Meesa, Chelsea, Alma, Adam, Aaron and I went and did a session. When you walk out of the temple doors, this is the view. It is on a bluff that overlooks the Mississippi River. The temple is beautiful inside and outside. There is some amazing history. Thank you for watching our kiddos so we could go!

After the temple, we went to dinner, then went to see the Rendezvous, which Grandma and Grandpa were in.
Amy and Gregg are right in the middle.
They had their own scene. They did a great job! This was their second time doing their scene.
The boys with the stars of the show. Meesa and gang were going to leave early the next morning, so we said our good byes after the show.
