Thanksgiving in Missori

This year we were invited to Nick's brother Tyler's house in Missouri. We weren't sure if we were going to go because the drive is 24 strait hours there. And that would make any person go crazy but we found the best plan tickets only two weeks before it was a miracle. We left the Tuesday before thanksgiving. It was a fun flight with 20 Cluff's on board. On Wednesday the boys helped Tyler put siding on his house and we started the cooking for fifty people. It was so fun for the kids they played all day the loved being there playing out side it was a blast. On thanksgiving we had a nice dinner it was Delicious. After we went out and played on there 2 acres. They have a little motorcycle we all road so much fun. Then Nick and Brady found Colton's go cart and got it fixed and running it only took a minute. Colton was so funny he said he has been trying to fix it for years. And once his two uncles get on it, it only takes a couple of minutes. He was so excited to have them there. We had a tone of fun. Then on black Friday we went to the zoo it was free and the best zoo ever. We have never had so much fun it was really nice for me because I have a cold and couldn't smell any thing. I think that's why I loved it so much. Then that night we went to Tyler's youngest child Baptism. Sadie was so cute it was so nice to be there for her. She was so cute in her white dress and to watch all the cousins sing. On Saturday we all went up to Navauoo. Ty and Floris said they would watch all the kids if we wanted to do session. It was amazing to be there I loved the spirit around the temple. We asked for a little tour we saw the sealing rooms and the baptismal fount it was amazing of the work they did. Then we went to see Carthage Jail it was a great experience for us as a family to see this place. How Joseph and Hyrum were here for so long and to see were the bullets came through the door. It was so very touching. The spirit was amazing. We also went to see there graves and to see some more of the church history sites. The kids were so good they loved to be there. For all of us it was a good experience. Then on Sunday we all went to church and lets just say we were their ward it is so fun to got to church out side of Utah. At night we always had fun visiting with each other and playing games to all hours. On Monday we went to the Arch (the gateway to the West) it was huge and neat to see how they did it. We rode up to the top talk about a scary experience. My kids loved it up there they didn't want to come down. Then we went to the Hard Rock Cafe it was a blast. Then after we met up with the rest and went to the science museum it was nice because it was free and my kids love that kind of stuff. Then we came home and packed it was hard to see how fast the week had gone we had a real good time. We were so grateful to Ty's family for all they did for us thanks again. We flew home on Tuesday morning it was great to come home but we have never been so tired in our lives lets just say we all took a huge nap.
