Summer is in full swing. The first week of summer vacation we took a family trip to Nauvoo. It was amazing! We camped in the park across the street from Nauvoo and spent 5 days in town. The kids loved all of it, but their favorite was definitely the performing missionaries. We went to just about every show. By the end of the week, the missionaries knew our kids by name.
The highlight was the temple. What a beautiful building! April did a session one morning, then that evening Blake was able to take Emisha and Abby to do baptisms. We weren't planning on taking the girls, so they didn't have dresses or reccommends. The temple president was happy to let them in without those. (Of course he called our Bishop.) They were so amazed at the beauty. It was exciting for them to be in a large temple. Our Temple in Oklahoma is smaller than a stake center.
Last week Blake went on a week long bike ride with the scouts in Missouri. He clocked over 120 miles in 4 days. Go Blake!
Next week April, Emisha, and Abby head to girls' camp. This is Emisha's second year, Abby's first year, and a lot more years for April. We are all excited.
