Rendevouz in old Nauvoo

Finally after three summers here in Iowa we made it to the Nauvoo pageant and we were not disappointed. We stayed for 2 nights at Camp Nauvoo and we will for sure be returning because it was wonderful. We went with our wonderful friends the Stuarts which is pretty much a fool proof way to have a good times. Even though they are our next door neighbors we still stayed up talking till the wee hours both nights. And we of course were extatic when the tour guide on the carriage ride announced that we were passing the first duplex built in Nauvoo. Being that it's our plan to live in a duplex into our old age with the Stuarts we of course needed a family photo. 

                                                          Travis and his Volcano II

                                                          Nothing like a pioneer headband.

                                                  A friendly neighborly game of the stick pull

                       And then a challenge from this guy. He was pretty shocked when Travis worked him.

                       
                                On our way home we stopped at the American Gothic House in Eldon Iowa.

                                              Lilly and Dillan had a little bit harder time being serious.

 And then 5 days after we were home I realized that I had carried home some chiggers as souvenirs and I had no idea that 100 chigger bites would be so miserable but take my word for it it was awful! But they were totallu worth it!
