A Night in Nauvoo

 Last night we took a mini family vacation to Nauvoo. Third time is truly the charm. The last two times we've planned to do it, plans have fallen through, but we finally succeeded! In the off season there are some pretty nice condos in Nauvoo that you can stay at for $50 dollars a night. They are 2 bedroom/2bathroom and perfect for two families. We went with some friends and swapped babysitting while we went to the temple today. It was brilliant, except for the part where Tate was up from 2 a.m. to 4:30. But we lived... Josh may need a couple extra naps this week from one night of bad sleep. There is a reason moms take care of the babies in the night. If not the world would not be able to handle all the tired, low-functioning men. We did stop at Culver's on the way home which brightened everyone's mood. Tate even blessed our ice cream so I'm sure it was a healthy choice.

Yesterday morning one of my dreams came true... I am now the owner of an SLR camera!!!! And it's even red! My first subject I ever photographed with it was the Nauvoo temple! Here is my favorite shot from my 2 minute photo shoot poking out the car window as Josh drove slowly around the temple.

How fun to go to a condo in Nauvoo! Nauvoo is a place I definitely want to go and visit! (I went there once when I was twelve and loved it!) Hoe exciting about your new car and camera! That's a pretty awesome way to start the new year :D
