Independence Day!...

We went up to Kaysville for the fourth of July. This was Tim's first year celebrating the fourth up there. We went to the parade and all caught lots of candy. The candy and water fight at the end are the only things i really get excited for, but we don't usually stay for the water fight anymore so mostly just the candy i should say now.
After the parade we went on our usual picnic up in the mountains.

Later that night we had a BBQ with just our family and then all headed over to the fireworks!
After those fireworks we always go home and light our own fireworks! After everything we were all so dead tired and exhausted! It was a really fun fourth of july and fun to show Tim finally all that we do up in Kaysville for it.

Carthage Jail and Nauvoo

While we were in Missouri visiting Tim's sister Becky and her family we were all able to head over to Illinois for a night and see Carthage jail and Nauvoo.


This is the famous window behind us that Joseph fell out of when he was shot.
They still had the same door which had the original bullet hole through it.
the same window but from the outside
The Mississippi river. this is the biggest part we saw probably.
It looks like a lake cause it's so big!
Hyrum Smith, Joseph Smith, and Emma Smith's graves

Joseph Smiths office

Brigham Young's house, we of course had to get a picture with Tim since he goes to BYU

Poor Timmer got pooped on by a bird!
Nauvoo Temple

It was such a cool experience being here and thinking that this is actually the place where all these amazing people lived and to be able to see the actual houses they lived in.
Thank you Clayton family for being so amazing to us and taking us to Nauvoo!
