we decided, last minute, to drive out to see grandma dawna in Nauvoo for Thanksgiving. 9 hours of driving was worth it. it was a memorable trip for our family and a nice way to spend the thanksgiving holiday with missionaries so full of love. we had a thankgiving dinner with all the missionaries and then got to back to grandma dawnas for a second yummy thankgiving dinner!
the spirit in nauvoo is wonderful and it was great for our kids to learn and see so much about the city and the church! we got to watch grandma dawna in 2 performances in which all the kids even little carina thought was fun. they liked seeing grandma on stage!
the kids had been studying pioneers in school so it was fun for them to take a wagon ride, oxen ride and make rope. after 2 days of experiencing pioneer life we went to carthage jail. what a strong spirit there. when we walked up camille looked at the statue of joseph and said, mom look there's joseph smith! if you get a chance go while grandma is there, it's a time you will not forget! we will always remember our thaksgiving in Nauvoo and the spirit we felt!
