Day 12

Day 12

Friday July 19, 2013

We got up and headed over to the Visitor's Center and got inline for our wagon ride! The wagon ride took you on a tour of  Nauvoo and gave some neat stories and history of different buildings and things around town! You had to pre plan your trip because of the limited amount of tickets per ride and with the pageant going on it was especially busy! Plus they wouldn't ride the horses during the afternoon because by then it was to hot and they were afraid of tiring them out with too many tours!

Loading the wagon!

Carter was super excited! McKay and Dad picking their seats!

Enjoying the ride!

Both my kids had fallen asleep before the end of the tour! It also was so hot this day all the Jones' wanted to do was stay in the shade! 

So after the tour we went and talked with the horses from our ride!

The Jones' hung around the motor home and stayed in the shade while Grandma and Grandpa took a different horse ride that went on the trail of hope and told stories from the pioneers! So those stories were more personal and they really enjoyed that! Scott, Sam and Isaac went and toured some more homes and shops!

The beautiful Nauvoo Temple!

After we got some pictures with the temple got some delicious chocolate covered carmels from the Nauvoo Chocolate Store we headed to Kansas City, Missouri! We had some time before the baseball game so we went to the Kansas City Temple! It was absolutely beautiful!

Then we headed to the Kansas City Royals baseball game! They had a neat stadium with some cool light up waterfalls that changed colors! Had some good seats but it was so blasted hot!

Carter couldn't get enough of this squirt bottle fan! 

He just kept spraying himself!

Poor Baylee was even sweating!

The cool waterfalls and crown scoreboard!

Sam and Carter got a little slap happy during the 7th inning stretch!

Bay chillin' with Dad!

3rd MLB game a success and another home team win! Awesome fun game!

This night we stayed in the same KOA we did on our first part of the trip on the way out! Right in Kansas City, Missouri!
