Recap

I know I've already posted about a lot of this, but here are the pictures off of my real camera.

On Thursday we went on a tour of historical sites for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The church was restored through Joseph Smith who lived in Palmyra, NY. This is the log cabin his family lived in. He was first told about the Book of Mormon here by the Angel Moroni.
Behind us is the Palmyra temple. The Sacred Grove is here as well. We walked through it, but it was raining and we were pushing strollers, so I didn't stop to take a picture. The Sacred Grove is where Joseph Smith went to pray about which church he should join. Heavenly Father and Jesus appeared to him and told him that so many truths had been lost since Christ was on the Earth that the true church needed to be restored.

Here is Lisa pushing the babies up the Hill Cumorah. This is where Moroni buried the Gold Plates after completing them thousands of years ago. He returned as an angel and told Joseph Smith where to find them. Joseph Smith translated these, with the help of the Lord, and we now know them as The Book of Mormon.

Ah, the life of a baby!

Our last church history site was the Whitmer farm where the church was officially organized.

On Friday we went to the Strong Museum of Play.

Ethan is getting very good at standing up!

On Saturday we went to Schoen Place in Pittsford. We walked along the Eerie canal and stopped to feed the ducks.

We went on a boat ride and got to go through a lock. I had never even heard of a lock before, so I thought it was amazing!

Grandma Dianne and Ethan.

Dan, Ruth, James, and Lisa, my gracious hosts in Rochester.

Dinner at Dinosaur BBQ--YUM!!!

Grandpa and Grandma saying good bye to the kids before going back to Michigan Sunday morning! We can't wait to see you again!

Ethan and James playing in the cultural hall after church, waiting for their mom's to stop talking. :)

My adorable niece!

At church. This is the closest I got to getting all three to look at me. Mostly because Ethan LOVES eating grass, dirt, and leaves.

Coming Soon: Niagra Falls, Kirtland, and Ethan crawling! Right now Ethan does a crawl that resembles the movement of a caterpillar, but he moves forward!
