 Cora and Rachel Wadsworth slept over while

their parents were at Youth Conference.

 Lucy loved having 5 older sisters/friends to spoil her.

 Crashing after swimming, art class, movies and more....

Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls 

 Niagara Falls was even more breathtaking than we

had imagined.  There is something so relaxing

and calming about water.  I loved being here with this guy...

and these 4 little cuties....

 

Made of The Mist Boat Tour.

Drenched and still smiling after our 

amazing boat tour near the Falls.

Kate, Abby and James wanted to hike in the Falls.

Kate especially LOVED getting drenched.

Lucy, Ella and I enjoyed the view from below,

still getting plenty wet....

We walked over to Three Sisters Island.

The first Smith Home 

Room where Angel Moroni appeared to Joseph.

We enjoyed the spirit at these amazing and sacred

remember the spirit we felt there.

The Sacred Grove

It was wonderful to be with our whole family
in this sacred place.

I am so grateful to be a wife, to be a mother and to

be sealed as a family together. 

 My favorite people in the world!!

The Peter Whitmer Farm

The Peter Whitmer Farm

This is the room where Joseph would translate

and Oliver would act as scribe, with a sheet hanging from

the ceiling to separate the two.

There is such a special feeling at this home.

On the main floor, in this small cabin, 50-60 saints gathered  

when the church was organized on April 6.

Lucy Mack gave a wonderful testimony.

I loved watching our girls run on the lawn and play

as the sun was beginning to set. I imagine the Smith and

Whitmer children playing and running in happiness too.

We were excited to ride the rides.

Before you enter the park, you line up

to see what size rides you can go on.

Abby was tall enough to go on

all of the Twizzlers size rides.

Kate was tall enough to ride all of the Hershey bar rides.

 Ella is our Reese's Pieces.

 Lucy is our little Hershey Kiss.  

 We learned that Lucy likes wearing her

shoes this way...with the tongue

sticking out. Ha ha.
