The trip was mostly fun. We had four adult leaders and nine youth (ages 12-16). We went to Nauvoo to see the historical sites of our church. We attended the beautiful Nauvoo Temple and watched a pagaent retelling the story of the Mormons who founded the city of Nauvoo. We spent some time at the park and in the pool having lots of fun.
Andy really enjoyed being with the youth. He must have been trying to prove how young and cool he is, because he challenged one young man to a race. The race was very close, but Andy tripped and rolled in the grass. After losing the foot race by such a slim margin, Andy had to challenge the boys in many other competitions. They threw footballs and frisbees. Andy won the sack race. He can walk on stilts. They all pulled together for the tug o' war. Andy is planning a race rematch where he plans on winning the sprint.
I was in charge of meals for our trip. I planned well with the help of my mother (who has much experience feeding crowds), but we found out when we got there that our hotel does not provide breakfast, as we had planned. I felt stressed out temporarily. Miraculously, we were able to provide two additional breakfasts using what we had plus $5 worth of eggs and orange juice.
We missed Alli and Ruby, but they had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa and Ben, Marissa, and Carly. My Dad did a few repairs around our house while we were away. Our dryer is so fast and quiet now! I love it! The outlets in our kitchen all match now and they look great. Thanks Dad.
