OuR FiRSt ViSitORs!



The Becker Family came out this way for their little family vacation. We were so excited that they wanted to stay with us! We went to Niagara Falls one day & can I just say, breath taking! It was our first time going & I was quite impressed. The next morning Bob, Em & Ellie took off for Palmyra. We met up with them in the afternoon at the Sacred Grove. Em took us to the Chill n' Grill for lunch. Great ice cream & food! We went downtown & took a tour of the print shop of the Book of Mormon. It is so cool to be where all those wonderful things took place. We headed over to the Hill Cumorah and walked to the top. I know I am a wimp, but it is quite a steep climb! Emily & her family were in the Hill Cumorah Pagaent a while back so it was fun to have her tell her memories and some of the inside scoop of the production. We got some fabulous seats & enoyed the show! For those that don't know much about the show, it is one of the biggest outdoor productions in the United States. Go to: www.hillcumorah.com to learn more about it. Here are some pictures of our great time spent!
