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!

It is ok. I caught the bird and rubbed its face in the poop whilest i said, "BAD BIRD! DIRTY BIRD! DON'T DO THAT AGAIN!" I think it got the picture and will think twice before making #2 on anybody again.
