Our first weekend in Connecticut we decided to be spontaneous and go to the Hill Cumorah Pageant with our friends, the Bartons. It was a long drive, but it was totally worth it.
We had a wonderful time and Michael really loved watching Nephi build a boat and seeing the Savior bless the children. Aaron and I were touched when Michael said out loud, "I want to go up there and have Jesus bless me."

You're doing it! You're taking your family to all the church sites just like you were raised to do! I am so proud. And jealous. And in love with your sweet little family. =)
