Nauvoo Reunion

This is the handcart we pushed for three miles.
In June we had a family reunion in Nauvoo, Illinois with my mom's side of the familly. It had been two years since I had seen most of them so I was SO greatful that they made the sacrifice to drive all the way to Ilolinois for our family reunion. I cherished the week that we had all together - for they never happen often enough. Mostly there is nothing at all in Nauvoo except for a lot of historic Mormon church sites. We all camped together and had a wonderful time during the week. At the end of the week, we gave up the primitive life and headed to a nice hotel 30 miles away. The hotel, appropriately named "Fun City", was amazing! There was a full indoor and outdoor water park, laser tag, bowling, go carts, an arcade, restaurants, and so much more. From here on out no trip to Nauvoo will ever be complete without stopping at Fun City! This is most of the Stucki clan! I sure do love you guys!! The most handsome man in the world with his little girl. Here are my little prarie kids walking, and walking, and walking . . . just kidding! We took a little trek with handcarts while we were in Nauvoo which was an incredible experience! It was much harder than I anticipated but well worth the time and effort. However, unlike most pioneer children who had to walk across the plains, mine only took about 10 steps and then decided that this activity was not for them. Nor did they ride in the handcart that we had to push/pull. They were carried by loving grandparents, aunts, and unlces.
