The bear went over the mountain to see what he could see and THIS is what he saw.

Stay tuned for more family pictures. They are in my other camera and I have not been able to down load them. The digital card they are on does not fit into any of my devices. So when I get it figured out they will show up on the blog.
And this seldom seen sight.

We saw lots of beautiful country, spent time with those we love and cherish and had a great time together. My very favorite thing we did was a session in the Nauvoo Temple. What a great reminder of all the things that are important to us...All of you, Heavenly Father, the Savior and our knowledge and testimony of the things of eternity. May the Lord bless and keep all of you.

I didn't realize you had time to stop in Winter Quarters and Nauvoo. I'm so glad you did--very special places. I love all your pics--I traveled right across with you (having done it so many times, it wasn't hard to visualize). :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it was a fun ride there. I am impressed that Dad drove the entire time. Retirement has changed him. I loved seeing all of the pictures of everyone you visited along the way too. Everyone is looking good. We are glad you made it safe. I love you. Keep having a great time.
