We picked up Kyle from working all night in the ICU and were on our way to Missouri! We ate breakfast at the hospital with Kyle before we left.
Everyone had their turn taking naps (except for me!) Trevin flopped over and zonked. Kyle took naps throughout the day of and on because he was up all night! I drove most of the way.
We made it to Laramie, WY the first night. We stopped and played in the pool at the hotel and then crashed! The next morning, we stopped at Cabela's in Sydney, Nebraska. We can't pass a Cabela's and not stop with all of these boys! We travelled all day and the boys were amazing! I think I over planned activities for the boys to do in the car, but they certainly weren't bored! They are the best boys in the whole wide world!
We made it to the beautiful Adam-Ondi-Ahman in Missouri! We were all so excited to see Grandpa Jeff and Grandma Pam! We hadn't seen them for over a year and missed them so much! They are serving a mission here. We went for a walk the first night and the next day, we fished in several of the little ponds on AOA. We caught bass and bluegill. Yummy!
We caught frogs and tadpoles in the pond at Grandpa and Grandma's house. They boys couldn't resist getting in the water, big surprise huh?!
Grandpa Jeff pushed Trevin in the tree swing. Trevin was the only one that would do it. Josh didn't want to.
AOA is such a sacred, beautiful place. We learned so much about it's rich history and sacredness. We didn't want to leave to come home.
When you stand here on this hill on AOA, you can talk in a normal volume and the millions of people gathered could hear what was being said across the valley below. It is a natural amphitheater. It was really neat to be there.
Typical Cooper move...pull both brother's hair and then run. We happened to catch proof in picture! Little stink!
We are sitting on Preacher's Rock. Joseph Smith stood here to preach to the saints when they stayed here.
This is the pecan grove on AOA. Pam said that you have to try to beat the deer to the pecans though and you usually can't.
Beautiful sunset! I love sunsets!
