Hill Cumorah Trip

Our Family Vacation

This summer we didn't have a huge block of time...anywhere...so Clinton took 1/2 a day off and we headed up to Palmyra, New York.  We drove up, found the campsite, set up our tent, then headed off to the Hill Cumorah Pageant.  We had fun watching the pageant as a family...Carter really got into it.  Then we slept in our 3 man tent...(1 male, 1 pregnant lady, 2 toddlers)...it was awesome.  Saturday morning we got up and headed out to look at some of the church historical sites.  We saw the Palmyra Temple, the Smith Homestead, the Sacred Grove, the Book of Mormon publication site, the Priesthood Restoration Site, and I think Martin Harris's house (not really the original house though).  We loved our trip...it just took longer than expected to get home.  We had a fun family vacation!

All four of us in front of the Smith Family house.  I think they said 11 people lived in there!  (kids and mom and dad)
