Randy and I attended a temple session this morning. There first session started at 8:00 am. Pretty late compared to when we arrive at our temple at 4:00 am. It was a large session but so nice.
The Hays family joined us this afternoon. We saw some of the sites and then went to the Family Living Center where they were demonstrating how to do things the saints use to do. Oliver got to help make a rope and they let him keep it. We also learned weaving, baking, wool carding, barrel making and pottery. The missionary couples do a great job.
Oliver throwing rocks into the Mississippi River and we also saw the part of Nauvoo that is owned by the Community of Christ Church (Former RLDS church) They have the Smith Family Cemetery. Joseph Senior and Lucy Mack Smith are buried there. Joseph Smith Jr., Hyrum and Emma are also buried there. It was very nice.
County Fait before the Pageant. Lots of old fashion games to participate in. Oliver and Henry really liked them.
Sunset in Nauvoo and a full moon rising above the trees just before the pageant started.
Nauvoo Pageant. The story of how Nauvoo started and progressed, the martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph Smith, the completion of the temple and the exodus of the Saints. It was so good. It made me think of the Shaum Family performing there for several years.
