My kids are rockstars

We had a fantastic time in Utah and then had the most uneventful drive back I could possibly imagine. I was super worried about how the drive back would go. The kids were total rockstars. They were as chill as possibly could be pretty much the whole time. Spencer watched about a million movies and Genevieve slept and ate and slept and ate over and over and over again. It was awesome all around.

We spent the middle day of our drive back in Nauvoo for the late afternoon/evening. It was fantastic. We had frozen custard at Annie's. We went to the visitor's center. We went to a bunch of shops and got ourselves a sunstone, and ended the day at the Nauvoo Pageant. We have some friends from Utah in it and they saved us seats and it was so cool to be on the front row. I actually spent most of the event standing on the side holding Genevieve, but it was still a great view.

Back to the vacation itself, we did some great things. We had a fun time at my family's reunion. 

 The kids were in heaven watching the Lorax on the projector.

 This place had the most gorgeous view.

My grandma brought every souvenir she could find from previous reunions as a joke at our family  meeting. It was hilarious. I can't believe she could come up with all of them for the last 13 years.

Once the reunion was over we went to Bill's parents' house for a few more days. This is the one and only picture I took there, lol. We couldn't be bothered with taking pictures. But we had a great time and did lots of playing and lots of going to places we don't have in South Carolina like IKEA and Winco and other such places. It was fun. We took the kids to a splash pad one day. My sister got pictures there. I definitely need to get them because the kids had so much fun. Well, Genevieve didn't, but in her defense she was super tired. Anyway, it was all around a great time and a great vacation. It's nice to know we can make something like this work. Here's to more good times in the coming years!
