Play time
The older boys went back to school on Monday so Desi and I took the kids to the Mall and let them play at the play place after Library time... Kendall was so excited to share library time with Kaden and Kaleb.
After Liberty Jail we went and met Zach from lunch. I drove Desi past World HQ of where Zach works on the way to Arby's. Zach doesn't work at any of those buildings but at least she got to see who he works for kinda... Then we went and drove around Independence and saw the temple ground there and a couple of buildings I was able to point out to her and tell her what happened there. Then home in time for naps! and Rest.
Wednesday was her last day here. We went to Nillie's sweet shop up in Smithville. Yummmm! and let the kids play outside at a park there. We had so much fun with Desi here thanks for comming Desi!
The next day we went and saw Liberty Jail. Although you can't tell the kids are sitting in front of the Jail on the stone there.

Tourists
Saturday History tour with Desi and her boys! What a fun adventure. This was our first time up to these sites too. So for the exception of Far West where I had gone with youth conference last year we had to guess our way around some back roads. I know there are paved roads to most of these places (not Haun's Mill) but we ended up on a dirt road to Far West also. We all had a great time. The kids watched movies in the car in between sites. It only took us a few hours to see every thing and it was way worth it!
Far West.
Here we had a picnic lunch and walked around the temple grounds. There is a very peaceful feeling around this area. And is is a beautiful drive out there. Too bad the trees don't have any leaves yet. But it was still pretty
After Far West we drove to Haun's Mill. It is only about 10 miles or so from Far West, but we were pretty close to being completely lost. I knew it was down a dirt road but we kept driving and driving and weren't seeing any signs or anything. How crazy. Even when Zach looked up our location on GPS all we saw were little streams and a railroad track that we knew we had crossed. Even on the paved road the GPS told us we weren't on a road. Just that we were in the middle of nowhere. After driving til the road "U" ended at a T we went one way and didn't see any thing so we turned around and went the other way. AT Last a sign to tell us we were going the right way. After Far West, Haun's Mill is a little bit of a disappointment as all there is is this sign and a stone with some writing on it that we couldn't read very well. When it isn't so muddy you can hike around up here, but today it was so muddy that we just took a few pictures at the sign and all piled back into the car. The most exciting part about this sight was the drive there.
A funny quote by Carter
"Mom I see the bullets from the mob, look at the sign."
(if you look up close to the sign you can see someone has shot at it)
We smiled and told him the sign was put up long after the event had occured someone else had come and shot up the sign.

This was the last stop on our little Tour
What a beautiful place. I'm sure its even prittier in the Spring time when the trees and grass are green. We sure had fun visiting all of these history sites and learning about all that happened there.
The boys all found sticks here and were writing thier names in the gravel. Some how the sticks talked thier way into the car and ended up back at home with us.

Carter and his Dad before the baptism.
Carter got a new white shirt and tie and his own quad set of scriptures, He has been wanting a tie and a set of scriptures for almost a year now. He was so excited and now reads from his scriptures every night.Kalidascope
The kids sure had fun creating. Many came home this time with crowns and wands/swords, puzzles, and many other creations. What a great thing to do and good reason to get out of the house. Family comes to town
Desi and Kaden and Kaleb made a trek to our house 17 hours in the car in one day. Crazy Day. But they made it. Mom and Dad J flew in with Kayla Brittney and Abby too. They all got here around midnight. The next day we went to a favorite place. Kalidascope. It is a craft place where you can paint and craft till your hearts content. Desi and I with the 3 oldest boys went first to get "tickets". The tickets hold your place so that you can get in but don't cost anything. While waiting for everyone else to show up we went through "OZ" as in the Wizard of Oz It was cute. Happy Birthday Carter!
Can you believe he is now 8 years old!!! Where has the time gone. He is quite the young man now. He reads very well and is amazing in school. At his last parent teacher conference his teacher told me in his self evaluation he said he wanted to be a better student. She smiled when she told me this and said she didn't know how he could be any better. He is so articulate and self motivated. He is a joy in our lives!
