Nauvoo...Again

So, Matt came home, and a few days later, Kipp and I took him to Nauvoo to see his grandparents.  We had a wonderful time!  We spent three days in Nauvoo, seeing the sites, enjoying the Spirit there, catching up with the grandparents, and attending the temple.  It was great to have him to ourselves, and to hear his mission story.  After Nauvoo, we spent the next three days in Missouri, doing more of the same.  We were joined there by our friends the Hudsons, who had traveled to Independence to pick up their son from his mission and see the sites.  Matt and Steve are good friends, so it was a great opportunity for them to reconnect with one another.  The weather was wonderful, in the 80's most of the time.  Autumn has not arrived there yet.
