Martin Harris Farm, Alvin's Grave, Sacred Grove Visitors Center, Niagara Falls and Flight Home

Since it was our last day and our flight was in the late afternoon we decided to hit a few more sights before we flew out.  We took Andrew and Jessica with us in Bryan's parent's rented van.  The car situation got crazy at the end but it all worked out.

We drove to the Temple to look around.  It was small but really pretty.  There was a path that we followed for quite a ways but we aren't sure where it comes out so we turned around.

 We went to the Martin Harris home which you can't tour but you can look around outside.

We went to see Alvin's grave.  The antique white stone is the original marker.

Then we began the long drive to Niagara Falls.  It was a pretty expensive disappointment but the kids can now say they have been there.

Then we drove to the Rochester Airport and met up with everyone.  Julie was there so she drove Lisa and Mike's van back with Brooke.  John, Shelley, Great-Grandpa Pack, Jessica, Andrew and our family were all on the same flight to Chicago.

Great-Grandpa Pack gave Ethan $20 to spend on things for the group as we waited for our plane to arrive.  (The plane was late, as per the usual for the vacation.)  Ethan bought gum, mini snickers, wheat thins, mints and red vines.  He had 20 cents left over that he donated to charity.

John was trying to figure out how to get us all on seats next to each other.  He and Bryan were trying to get it all figured out.  After a long discussion they thought they had it figured out except they probably couldn't get Jessica and Andrew close to us.  But they didn't mind because they wanted alone time. ;)

It actually worked!  Ethan sat by Grandpa and Great-Grandpa Pack and LOVED it! Did you know you can ask for the can of pop and they will give it to you?  Ethan thought he had died and gone to heaven.  Courtney sat by Grandma and talked her ear off the entire time.

When we got to Chicago we all had to separate and go to different planes.  We watched as our plane pulled out and we were the last of the Pack Clan to leave the airport.  Such is our life.

When we finally got to Las Vegas the kids were pretty tired.  And then we had the drive home.  We were happy to see our beds again but we had a great trip!
