Having forced the two girls to sit still far too often the day before, the morning of Day 2 was spent playing pioneer games--although it's hard to say who enjoyed it more, us or the girls.
The highlight of the place were the stilts
which Kenny could never quite master as well as the self-proclaimed
Stilty Queen!
Afterwards, we took a walk towards the Mississippi along the Trail of Hope, the path the Saints took on their way out of Nauvoo.
It is something you'll have to experience for yourself--I can't even begin to imagine how difficult it would have been to leave the city they built out of the swamp and their beloved temple for the desert and uncertainty that was awaiting for them in Utah. Luckily, they would make the desert bloom, too.
