Palmyra
In July we went up to Palmyra NY to see the Hill Cumorah Pageant. We had a ton of fun with our friends Sarah and Cory, well mostly Sarah because Cory always had school (he graduated this past fall, hooray for Cory!).While we were getting ready to check out the sites Aeriana took a nap, or so we thought... I heard her making noise after about an hour (which is a short nap for her) and found this... I think she got hungry.
While up in Palmyra we had a chance to visit the sacred grove. I love it there, it is so peaceful. I will never forget the very first time I visited Palmyra I saw all the sites and the pageant; it was the coolest thing ever. I wasn't a member yet but the spirit was so strong there was no way you could deny the sacredness of this place. This time however...the experience was completely different "quite", "peaceful", and "toddler" just don't mix well. I apologize to those there that were enjoying a nice quiet spiritual moment... my daughter likes to talk... a lot and she's not quiet about it.
After we walked around the Temple grounds. Brett had so much fun taking pictures that were artsy fartsy that he didn't get one of us there. I thought I had made him take one, but where it went I have no idea. While Brett was off in his own little world, Sara, Aeriana, and I walked around looking at all the pretty flowers.
We spent some time in town and got some amazing burgers and ice cream at the Chill and Grill. Yum... just what my pregnant body needed... we then made the customary stop at the church bookstore and spent more money than we should have, but well at least their spiritual books right? We then headed to the pageant, it was great. Aeriana was exhausted and had a rough time and Brett, being the amazing man he is, took care of her during the pageant so I could watch. He didn't get to see much of it. :( Thanks babe.
After the pageant we got a chance to get a shot of us all together. Sarah, me (prego with Zoe) and Brett (Cory was at class and then studying for a big test and Aeriana was finally asleep in her stroller.
Thank you Sara and Cory we sure do miss you guys!

That was an awesome trip!! I'm so glad you could come visit and we could go see the pageant. Too bad Cory missed out on everything... dumb school gets in the way too often. Great pics, too! I'm going to have to figure out how to steal some of the ones you took at the pageant.
