The family came together this year for a mini family reunion in Nauvoo, IL. My parents arrived on Thursday afternoon along with the Scheele family. We camped at the Wildcat State campground. I came down first thing on Saturday morning. I had a rough night the day before with very little sleep. I'm not accustomed to driving long distances alone. I was a bit concerned about the drive but made it safely to Nauvoo with the kids in tow. My husband had to work during the day and met up with us that evening for the Nauvoo pageant. We visited the sites in Nauvoo during the day. It was hot all weekend long and we came back to eat lunch and than hit up the pool. We went to dinner at a Chinese buffet and than headed over to the country fair and pageant. On Sunday we went over to the Carthage jail and went on a tour. We went to a park with the kids and enjoyed an ice cream treat. We came back and went swimming. Afterwards we had a cookout and enjoyed some quality family time together. On Monday we all packed up and the Scheele's hit the road early. Frank and I went to visit the temple grounds with my parents. Frank left early and went back to work an hour later. We visited the Community Christ visitor center, grave site for Joseph Smith. We did a little shopping in town and ate lunch. We headed home afterwards. It was a great time and I was honored to be able to spend time with my family. Families are forever.
