Nauvoo and Carthage

The Pulsipher family reunion was great. We went to Nauvoo for three days and on the last day we visited Carthage where the Prophet Joseph Smith and his brother, Hyrum were martyred. It was so nice to have the whole family together (minus Kacey and Allie - we missed you). I'm so blessed to have such a great family. It was so nice of them to make the trek out to the mid-west for this reunion. We got to see some great shows as well as the Nauvoo pageant. We also did a handcart trek to get a very small feel for what the pioneers experienced. We also took a step back one day and went to a fun zone with go-karts and a big indoor play area. The place we stayed was also very nice; The Hyrum Kimball Village - highly recommend it, just bring your own t.p.. The only drawback was the oppressive heat and humidity. Thankfully everyone was a trooper. I think the kids' favorite part was just getting to be with all of their cousins and "taking care" of several frogs found on the grounds of where we stayed.
