Our very First Church History Trip

So this trip happened all the way back in May. I have a little updating to do. What's new? Anyway, our first stop, Independence Visitor's center. After a long drive, we eat some lunch in the parking lot before entering.

William wanted to be just like his sister and sit on the curb too.


Wow, the boys look so different now with there new hair cuts. Look at these pictures, can we say . . . shaggy?

Will wanted to go all over the place, mom was helping me with the chasing.

This is a cool play area for children, it let the kids act like they were pioneers.

And in back we have William.
Shaelyn making herself at home in the little cabin. Shaelyn being a cowgirl.

When Shaelyn saw this statue she went and was imitating his stance. I had to capture the moment.

I though this was a cut picture of the boys and their Great Grandpa.
And just across the street, the snail temple. Not affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints what so ever. I had heard about it but never actually seen it.
Next stop: Historic Liberty Jail
This was a nice and quick tour. The lady was very knowledgeable.
Here is a very bad picture of the remake of the Liberty Jail. The only thing that is original from the Jail is the floor.
Next Stop: Adam-ondi-Ahman
It was very peaceful here and very nice.

Just a look out over the valley.
Shaelyn and Grandma Shaelyn walking up the path.

The kids had fun playing among the trees. All that was left was the long ride back to the Kansas Wilde Home.

That looks way fun! I've been there, but it's been years and years. My sister was just there in June and she fit on that little wagon. She's 18, but she's only like 5 feet tall and 100 pounds. :)
