We have been home from our trip almost a whole week and I haven't gotten anything posted. Sad. We spent a week in the midwest. Started in St. Louis, hit Independence, Liberty (jail), Far West, Adam-ondi-Ahman, Nauvoo, Carthage, and back to St. Louis for the big wedding. Seven of the nine kids were able to be there and all but one joined us in Nauvoo. It was a fun trip with some crisis moments but what is a family vacation without those? :) Thank heavens for some borrowed GPS units!! So here are a few shots from our trip.

Nauvoo:

Anna's introduction to horses.

The happy couple - Mitch and Keri.

The best part about being the only girl in a family of boys is you are always surrounded by good looking men. :)

Anna's first swimming experience. Obviously not too successful. She loves baths but this water was a lot colder than her bathtub.
