Our family and some of the Cluff families went to St. Louis to spend Thanksgiving with Tyler's family. The first day we were there, we saw the Gateway Arch, St. Louis Rams stadium, and one museum inside the Gateway Arch. On Thanksgiving, the boys played football with the family and had our Thanksgiving feast at Tyler's house. I made pumpkin pies the night before. I was able to start reading "Breaking Dawn" while on this vacation. I haven't had the chance to read it when it first came out because I had been too busy. The next day, we went to the Children's museum, "Magic House". It was huge! We enjoyed hanging out there. After the museum, we saw the St. Louis temple, but we didn't had the time to stop by because of Sadie's baptism. Sadie's baptism was very nice and we couldn't believe that Sadie was all grown up. We drove up to Nauvoo after the baptism and stayed at one of the inns for the night. Brady and I went to the Nauvoo temple for the endowment session with the rest of the Cluff families. The endowment session went nicely and the temple itself was very beautiful. The boys and the rest of their cousins went on a wagon tour around Nauvoo while we couples attended the session. We went to the Carthage jail where Joseph Smith was killed. It was a very sincere and spiritual place. We stopped by the cemetery where Joseph and his family was buried, and visited Pam's brother's wife at Sarah Kimball's place. She and her husband were serving their mission in Nauvoo. Our family left that night to stay at the airport hotel for our return flight on that following early morning. Our planes were delayed for 5 hours because of the snow, but we were glad that we made it back home that day. Brady and I were sick with a terrible cold on the trip back. All of us had a great time spending the vacation in St. Louis, Nauvoo, and also visit Tyler's family.
