And so the saga... oh blah blah blah

We are home. We enjoyed a wonderful trip to Nauvoo. Thursday, we left early enough to make our own dinner that night. We planned to watch a movie and just relax, but spring was in Nauvoo and the kids wouldn't come inside. We played outside until the sun set. Even then, the kids put up a fight. Friday came to us sunny and beautiful. I believe it was around 72 degrees. We couldn't have asked for a better day. We were also pretty much the only people in Nauvoo. That was AWESOME. We never had to rush, or share the cool stuff you always get. The elder missionaries were also pretty excited to talk. We went to a show Friday night, put on by the elder missionaries. It was hysterical. The kids really liked it. We had a big thunderstorm that night, but it was dry Saturday. Though cooler. I would like to say we had a wonderful and UNEVENTFUL vacation, but that just wouldn't fit with our current well, life! When we went back to the condo on Friday for dinner, Joe came in and told me he didn't think we were going to make it home. Ummm......K. Turns out, we had a huge leak in a radiator tube. Joe was hoping to dry it and duck tape until we got home, but he was soaked trying. We overheated just getiing to the show. Luckily, the owner of the condos was a counselor in the YM and the president happens to be the only mechanic in Nauvoo. An hour later he showed up to look at it. He met us Saturday and opened his shop to fix it for us. We made it home without any further incident. Ethan is doing better. He has started to walk some. Hope all is well with everyone. I will post pictures later, when Joe is home.
