We got back from our trip to Illinois yesterday. It was short and sweet.....and cold. Us californians didn't bring more than jackets and it was snowing and windy. BRRRRRR!!This picture represents what we did at carthage jail: chase Kiera up and down the stairs. These are the stairs that the mob ran up. We got to experience them over and over and over........
Kiera's favorite part of the trip was swimming in the pool with her daddy and her cousins. The squeels of delight are just adorable. She also loved running up and down the halls in the hotel. Oh, and Kiera met her first love (ok, well maybe second behind her blankie): Ketchup. She was introduced to french fries and we showed her how to dip them in Ketchup. She would dip them in and suck of the ketchup. And when the fries were gone she'd just use something else (green beans, fingers, etc.)
Kiera's least favorite part of the trip was the Mark Twain caves that we went through in Hannibal Missouri. Promptly after entering the cave she started wailing (along with a few others of her baby cousins). Unfortunately we were a little trapped and endured a half our long tour of the cave with several very fussy babies. You'd think that the tour guide could have hurried it up a bit or just showed us how to exit or something, but no.
Oh, and for those of you who were wondering, the purpose of this big trip to Nauvoo was that Steve's younger brother got married in the Nauvoo temple to a girl named Erica from Oklahoma (now Kiera has 2 aunt Ericas). Kiera has now been to 12 states (and if you count when she was in the womb she's been to 3 different continents).It's good to be home. More pictures can be found on picasa.
