Our (Holly and I) second summer adventure was driving 16 hours (each way), with 4 children, to Nauvoo. My grandparents are serving a mission there right now so we took the opportunity to go there and stay with them. I had not seen them for about a year and a half so it was great visiting them and seeing them in action. It was also so good to have "girl bonding time" as Camree calls it. It was suppose to be a family vacation but all the boys in the family bailed out on us so it turned into a girl trip. We had my mom and all us girls there. The only one missing was Amanda. We really wish she could have been there too. We had so much fun and I am so grateful for the time I had to spend with my mom and sisters. I love them and miss them so much.
This was after our marshmallow fight. I ruined my shirt but it was tons of fun and totally worth it. 
Carthage Jail
This was on the wagon ride but right behind Chanda is the house my Grandma and Grandpa live in. They live right on the Mississippi so right across the road is the river. I think they have the best view of anyone. 
We decided to get an old time photo while we were there.
On our last day we all bought these shirts. We also bought the girls bonnets and the boys little hats. This is at the fair they have right before the Nauvoo pageant. Needless to say between what we were wearing and what the kids were wearing we got lots of attention.

Wow! you are all so beautiful! I can't believe how grown up everyone is. What a fun trip to take with the girls. I miss you all! I'm only 6 hours from Nauvoo right now. I'll have to stop and say hi to your grandparents the next time we come.
How much longer does the Johnston have in Nauvoo? I love you girls, you have grown up to be so close. Your mom looks like a sister too. Will she ever grow-up and look her age? :)I doubt it! I would love to see you some time. If you are ever in Richmond let us know as we will come down to see you.
