Weekend in Nauvoo

We met up with Ryan's Mom and brother, Nate, in Nauvoo this weekend. We had a great time camping at Nauvoo State Park, right across the street from the Old Nauvoo sites. We anticipated rain (as well we should because since Ryan and I always get wet) but not this time.
Helen had a great time sneaking up on Nate in the hammock.

Ryan and Nate were great chefs!

The sites were great! We especially loved the oxen ride and the song-and-dance show that the Senior Missionaries put on at night. They sure do a great job serving the Lord and teaching us.

We also got to go to the rebuilt Nauvoo temple. Here is a video that explains why there are temples again. We got a couple of great, postcard quality shots - click on the pic to see more.

Ryan and Michelle- This is Natasha Messier (I used to be in the singles ward in Columbus) and I was in Nauvoo this past weekend too! I saw both of you as you were coming up to Sunset by the Mississippi on Saturday night, but when I went to look for you and say hi, I couldn't find you. Sad day. Anyway, just thought I'd tell you I saw you. Nauvoo is so wonderful!
