The Joseph Smith Farm, the Sacred Grove and Family Pictures

We woke up, got ready and went to Lisa and Mike's house.  The kids were happy to wrestle and chase Ethan.
Then we loaded up and drove to the Smith farm and the Sacred Grove.

Because it was pageant time they didn't have tours but for the morning they had volunteers that would tell you about the different locations.

 Courtney and Brooke inside the frame home:

Courtney just liked playing with her cousins and holding Tyler:

We then walked into the Sacred Grove.  It was really peaceful and Ethan and I took a minute to sit down and talk about the gospel.  Courtney went off to explore with Brooke and Bryan went to keep an eye on them.  It was a neat experience to just be able to explore around.


Then we went back to Lisa and Mike's where we had hamburgers/hotdogs and salad.  The girls put on a little skit for us all.  We aren't sure what the plot was and the actors were a bit confused as to what they should have been doing but it was fun and kept them busy.

It was then time for family pictures so we all went our separate ways to get ready.  Hopefully I will post those pictures soon.

That night we had a family meeting to catch up on everyone's lives and went back to the hotel for sleep.We were exhausted!
