This picture is from the first night we were in Nauvoo. The home that we stayed in was a couple miles north of the town. We were coming back at night to see the play "Rendevous at Old Nauvoo" and when we came around the corner the moon was coming up over the temple on a beautiful clear night. My little digital camera wouldn't do it justice, but your older sister, Tammie, was able to get this great shot.
Sunset over the Mississippi river in front of home where we stayed. (picture also taken by Tammie)
We had a great rope swing for the kids to play on (kids of all ages).
The kids waiting to get "shod" at the blacksmith shop.
A great statue of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young depicting the revelation that the saints would be heading to the Rocky Mountains.
The temple is a beautiful sight.
A wonderful statue of Joseph and Hyrum depicting there last chance to see the temple and Nauvoo before they were taken to Carthage.
We all had a great time in the Family Living Center learning about rope making, bread making, candles, etc.
The Springer family by the Mississippi.
Rebecca "dolled" grandpa up. She is so proud that she inherited the Stewart trait of being able to touch her nose with her tongue!

OK - I have so many comments. First, our lesson in RS yesterday was about when Joseph was in liberty jail, and I kept thinking about the pictures you recently posted. It totally helped me visualize everything we talked about - thanks!!
I love all the pictures of the Springer family. I can't believe how big the kids are all getting!! The temple/moon picture was beautiful! I love Rebecca's grumpy face in some of the pics. I LOVE the last picture of Rebecca dressing up grandpa. I'm so happy that we are passing on our long tongues to the next generation. I think McCall has a good chance of inheriting - we'll keep our fingers crossed :)
