Over Memorial Day weekend Ammon and Melanee and Cormac and Azure visited us in Nauvoo. It was so wonderful to have them. We had a great time with them.

We went to the Variety show, Sunset by the Mississippi. Elder Dahl and I are not in it this year because we do Rendezvous every night now. We enjoyed watching it with the kids.

One morning we went to the barn early to watch the horses come in to their manger to eat their grain. They all have their own place and go right into their place.

This statue is called "Calm as a summer's morning."
It depicts Joseph and Hyrum Smith as
they were leaving Nauvoo on that last day on their way to Carthage. Joseph paused and looked
over the city, and said, “This
is the loveliest place and the best people under the heavens; little do
they know the trials that await them.”
