Palmyra Pageant

We seriously got super lucky this summer to have Grandma and Grandpa Hinton be in the Palmyra Pageant! I grew up going and LOVE it! Such a neat experience and so fun to be around so many people and feel the spirit. So we were super excited to go together this year and bring Conner along. We also got really lucky and Sarah and Ben came with us as well. They are great sports and put up with a crazy Conner in the 7-8 hour car ride. 

Here we are waiting for dark when the Pageant starts. 

And we ran into some Nephites who wanted to take their picture with us!

Conner was having a hard time looking at the camera.....

Ben guarding our spot.

Conner sure loves them!!! And we're glad they are always to willing to play with him!!

Conner did SO great. We had people around us compliment us on how well he behaved. He was happy and just crawled around until the show started, watched a little bit, and then fell asleep on this blanket in the grass. He would wake up when it got loud, like at the destruction scene, but then would look around and just go back to sleep. Seriously how did we get so lucky???

The next morning we were able to go visit mom and dad before church. They have a sacrament meeting as a cast and we couldn't go, but were sure glad to get in some quality time with them!!!

Can you see the similarities in their smiles??

Walking through the Sacred Grove.

The Smith Log Cabin.

This is the room where the Angel Moroni appeared to Joseph Smith. So neat and we sure loved going there and the rich history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
