Surf's Up

What an exciting couple of days I spent at Newport Beach. The waves were over 25 feet high and the crowds gathered at the wedge to witness their enormity. I was fascinated by the enormity of the crowd. Lifeguards were certainly kept busy rescuing the foolish swimmers.

Families are Forever

What a wonderful time we had visiting Nauvoo, Independence and Liberty Jail. Our heritage and our beliefs are what we are always able cling to in this life. Our family is what is important now and in the life to come. The cute girls are exploring some of the little stores in Nauvoo. We tasted a little gingerbread cookie inside the old bakery.
The horses pulled our wagon as we traveled back in history along the banks of the Mississippi.


What a breathtaking view of the Nauvoo Temple. We spent some time inside reflecting on the meaning of life. It was a wonderful opportunity...especially for Emilee to go inside with her parents and do some wonderful service for her ancestors.
