We had a family reunion this past weekend with our children and grandchildren. Art and I are definitely not campers, but it is said that camping is the best thing to do with the family. We were away from the t. v. and our own beds. We all had fun fishing, camping, riding four-wheelers. shooting paintball guns, and playing in the water. Jace even set up a treasure hunt for the grand kids where they had to use compasses.

This last week, the girls and I went to Nauvoo. We also took a new convert, Sunny Modig, and Ariel Johnson, Heather and Hayley's friend. It was such a great experience. We found out so much more about Joseph Smith as well as Emma Smith. We attended the pageant and it was really good. It was such a good missionary opportunity. We went to Carthage jail as well as liberty jail. The spirit was so strong on our trip. The girls and i were also able to do baptisms for the dead in the Nauvoo temple. Ariel's father painted the temple and our Unkle Newell Barney donated the carpet, so it was really neat to see it all first hand. All in all, it was a really great trip.

Anna and Hayley's Rodeo Experience
