Visit of the Ammon Dahls

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.

After the wagon ride with Cormac

One of the first things we did was a wagon ride.  Driven by Elder Dahl.  Narrated by Sister Dahl.  River narration by Elder Dahl

Grandma and Azure

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.

The young performing missionaries helped Azure in the Children's Parade.  She was happy to be with them.

Cormac marched in the Parade with the young performing missionaries

Mark and the horses coming in

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.

The horses lined up eating their morning grain.

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.”

We had a wonderful few days with Ammon, Melanee, Cormac, and Azure.  We are so glad they were able to come and look forward to visits from more of our family this summer.
