And yes, Cannon packed all those "friends", along with a favorite blankee, and several hotwheels in his little backpack that he insisted wearing everywhere!
We just got home from a wonderful family vacation to Historic Nauvoo, IL.
" In 1839, early members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—called “Mormons”(our faith)—established this place of peace and beauty on a great bend in the Mississippi. And then they were forced to leave.

Today, Nauvoo is one of America’s premier historic communities. It has been designated a National Historic Landmark District. Many of the early homes, shops and public buildings have been restored or rebuilt and are open for guided tours. Horse-drawn wagons carry visitors along the tree-shaded streets. Children’s plays, musicals and nightly shows fill the days with family entertainment."
We had so much fun!! My heart was touched over and over again by the industry and faith of these people. I left inspired to work harder, and to be more faithful and committed in dedicating my life to God. I took lots of pictures that I will share soon!
