We are here in Palmyra enjoying our vacation. We have already seen quite a bit, so I wanted to share some pictures. We started with the flight. With Corgin, that was in and of itself an adventure.
Here is Corgin's first airplane ride.
This is how we got around the airports with our little guy. Sorry the pic is a little blurry.
The travel took us almost all day Tuesday. So yesterday was when the fun started. The first place that we visited was the sacred grove, we just took a little walk and we will get the tour later.
Then Grandpa and Grandma took us to Seneca Lake to the girls camp there. It was pretty nice! The church even owns lake front property and part of a creek. We got around by golf cart and Corgin had lots of fun helping his dad drive. I didn't get any pictures of the cabins or the nice shelter with a kitchen (spoiled New York girls!). It was prettycool. Here are the pics of that.
This is where the fourth year girls get to camp. They actually camp in tents and not in the cabins like the others. Though, they have people that bring them their food from the kitchen. Like I said, SPOILED!
Once we were done there, Grandpa and Grandma took us over to Sauders. It's a mennonite store with all sorts of things. We enjoyed looking around and we even bought us some peach butter and banana strawberry jam. We can't wait to try them once we get home. By then, it was time for Grandpa and Grandma to go to work. They had to go to the Whitmer Farm, so off we went. Grandpa gave us our own private tour and told us some really good stories. Here are some pictures of us outside the farmhouse where the first meeting of the church was held.
Inside the house.
The room where Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdry worked on the translation of some of the Book of Mormon. This is inside the Whitmer farmhouse.
We did all that yesterday. Today we took a little trip up to Niagra Falls. Here's a pic, that does no justice, of the falls. The far ones are the horseshoe falls where we went on the Maid of the Mist.
The Maid of the Mist was quite an experience. Grandpa and Grandma had done it with Jake and Tess when they came to visit. They told us that they didn't get very wet that time. Well that wasn't the case today. The mist was more like rain drops and when we got done our shoes and bottom of our pants were soaked. Corgin loved it.
After we saw Niagra Falls, Grandpa and Grandma took us out to eat at the Hard Rock Cafe. Thanks! It was super good and lots of fun. We'll keep you posted on more of our trip later.
