Amazing August 2013

Ooooohhhh, August WAS amazing!! I had a little break between classes so we hit the road! First, we checked out Niagra Falls. 

Then it was on to the Hill Cumorah--that was awesome!

We of course stopped by the Joseph Smith homes--Alan was so kind to pose for pics! : ) 

This first one was in a little log cabin where the family first lived....

Then, they built a bigger house. Joseph Smith hid the plates under this hearth--cool!!!

 There was a huge tree in the yard that I think was planted in memory of one of the Smith's sons that died, but I don't exactly remember the story--yes, Alan posed that way in almost EVERY picture--anyone know the reference, huh, do ya? and no, Nathan is not peeing on the tree--he has his hands in his pockets! ; )

We also visited the Sacred Grove. I would have liked to spend more time at the Grove, but we had cranky people with us so we needed to move on. : ( 

Next up was Hershey, PA, which did not disappoint!! We hit Hershey park where I got a fantastic picture of Alan's roller coaster hair!!! Ha! Ha! Ha!

 Here's Nathan and me on the bumper cars--he really did have more fun than it looks like he did in this pic!!

Here we are on a coaster--except that I cut Nathan's head off.... 

Last stop was Gettysburg, which was a hit with everyone I think! Here the boys are posing with Lincoln.

The month ended with everyone going back to school!! Handsome fellas!!

Whew! Another month done! I'm on a roll!!!! : ) Betcha can't wait for September!!! ; )
