Palmyra

We took a little trip to Palmyra last weekend. I love the Sacred Grove and the overwhelming feeling of peace that is there. Here is our whole family in the Sacred Grove:

On the way back, we stopped at a couple cemeteries in New York state where Ron has direct ancestors buried. He recently discovered a lot of geneaology on his Dad's side of the family so it was really meaningful for him to visit these places:


All of these pictures were taken with our new camera and some of them turned out looking really cool, like this one of the Grandin Building:


Also the Grandin Building. The floor is original so it was fun to tell the kids that they were walking on the same floor that Joseph Smith walked on:

The kids' favorite activity was rolling down the Hill Cumorah:
