We left our hotel in Morton at 9:15 a.m. and it took just over 3 hours to get to Nauvoo. We camped at the Nauvoo state park. After setting up camp and having lunch we went out to see some of the sites. Our first stop was the brick yard. We got the brick that they give every family after the presentation. They actually did the presentation in a new room in the building instead of out in the brick yard. Sheila dropped the brick later and cracked it but it did make it back to Florida.
We headed over to the Visitors Center to get some tickets for the play Rendezous that night and saw the Women's Garden.
The kids really wanted to make rope so after that we headed over to the Family Living Center. The kids enjoyed making the rope. We also learned about candle making, baking bread (yummy, we got a sample), and a few other pioneer activities.
We then headed back to the trailer for dinner. The park is really nice. The sites for the nonelectric are way nicer (and cheaper) than the electric. The electric sites seemed to be an after thought but we got the electricity since it was so hot. We didn't stay in the park that much anyway with so much to see and so little time.
After dinner we headed for the play. It was a cute play with lots of singing. The older couple missionaries put it on. The kids did okay during it but we decided to skip the other performances the next day since the kids did get bored about half way through. Kimberly slept through it. After that we retired for the day since we planned a full day out the next day.
