Nauvoo sites

After the Visitor center we went to ride on the wagon pulled by oxen. This was a little more exciting for the younger kids.
This would be a great picture of our family if Rylie was not behind Joshua. The ride was short but about the right length. It sure gives you an idea how uncomfortable it would be to have to ride for long periods of time.
Here we are in the printer shop. The Missionaries would give a little talk about each building. Some were brief and some were not brief enough. As you can tell, it would have been better for us if we could just walk in a look around without the details. The hardest one was the blacksmith shop. I eventually had to take some kids out during the presentation. It was hot and humid that day which added to the impatience.
The animals were always entertaining for the kids.
We had to drag Rylie away from the horses. Alison also likes horses. What is with girls and horses?

We went on a hour wagon ride tour. It was nice to sit down and rest. Emily liked it...
But she only lasted less than five minutes. I was happy that she got her nap in, but my arms were killing my by the time the tour was over.
