Daddy & Landon's Trip to the Ballgame







Here are a few pictures of my trip to the Omaha Royals baseball game with Landon.  We had a great time in what turned out to be an exciting game.  The game went into extra innings and while we tried to stay until the end (we stayed until the 11th) we just got too cold and tired to make it through all 18 innings.

Family Trip to Nauvoo


















































Stacy and I decided that we wanted to "experience" Nauvoo before we headed back to Utah.  The trip was not too long, at least compared to our Utah trips, and everyone seemed to really have lots of fun.  The weather was perfect and the people we met there were wonderful.  Some of the highlights included visiting the Browning home, taking a wagon ride through the streets of Nauvoo, making rope and candles, watching the blacksmith make a mini horseshoe, watching a bald eagle sitting along the banks of the Mississippi River, seeing a "dream home," seeing the Nauvoo Temple, and visiting Carthage Jail.  The trip helped Stacy and I really appreciate the great sacrifices that these early church members made for the cause they believed in.
