Our cute pioneer Children

On our way up we stopped at Cathage. We were able to enjoy the spirit that is there and witnessed where Joseph Smith and Hyrum died. The kids were able to see where he was kept and we were able to touch the door where the shoots were fired. I think the kids has a better understanding of the Prophet Joseph Smith.

The two days before the 4th of July we went to Bransan, Missouri which is about 3 hours away. It 's like a very mini version of Las Vegas, but more family oriented. We had a lot of fun we stayed two nights. We were able to take the kids to fun show and dinner, went on Go-carts, mini- golf, and walked and shopped. We came home that night and watched the fireworks at the capital building with some friends from church. Then went back to their house and did our own fireworks.
