We left Gallatin early Thursday morning and went a longer route so we could go thru Hannibal, Missouri. This is the birthplace of Mark Twain and the basis for his Tom Sawyer/Huck Finn stories. We saw his home and a few more things then drove on to Nauvoo. After arriving at the visitor's center we went straight to the Family Living Center which is a fun place to learn about how the pioneers made things for their homes. Marjorie Emerson and Sam Thompson rode with us in our car (14 in a 12 passenger) and (along with Brad/Heidi, Donelle/Marshall, Mom/Dad & gang, and DJ/Jen) the Rogers and Durfees all came too--in their own cars, of course. We had quite a group at times!
Here we are learning how to make homemade rope...
Grma was holding baby Emme a lot of the time--she kind-of monopolized her and I don't blame her!
Anton and Heidi are "professionals" at rope-making.
Mischa especially liked the homemade pioneer blocks--check out that tower. It's almost as long as her tongue! We stayed in this building for a good hour at least. It was air-conditioned and fun.
