Nauvoo

Jake's family always takes a trip to Nauvoo each summer to see the pageant. While Isaac was there last year he got a whole lot more out of it this time around. Not to mention I have pictures from this trip (I accidently deleted them from last year-along with the picture of Mitt Romney holding Isaac the day we left for Nauvoo. Luckily that one wound up on the front page of a local newspaper.).

Anyways...the first night we went to Adventure Zone-a mini-version of Chuck-E-Cheese (and much, much cleaner-not so many stinky, runny-nosed kids (guess how I feel aobut Chuck-E-Cheese...). There was a little section for the babies with a slide-it was WAY fast and Isaac seemed to enjoy it though it would have been nice if I could have sit up all the way. There was also a car that Isaac wanted to sit in all night-it had a steering wheel so of course it was love at first sight. He wasn't scared at all when we put the quarter in and it started to "drive." It was pretty funny.

I was surprised he kept this little hat on long enough for a picture-he is NOT a hat kind of kid-I think he's too proud of all that white hair.

The day we left we were able to get our picture taken in front of the temple-sad to say it's better than our wedding pictures (we hired a not-so-great photographer).

We also saw the pageant and Jake and I were able to go to a session at the temple (thanks Mom and Dad for watching Isaac!). It was a fun trip and we are looking forward to next year when Isaac will be able to do even more (and when we will have TWO kiddos with us!).
