Hill Cumorah pagent

Here is the family.  Not the best shot for everyone but, trying to get a good one with the kids is tough.  This is in front of the Palmyra temple that overlooks the sacred grove.

Here is the Moroni statue on top of the Hill Cumorah.  It was a beautiful monument and a very beautiful setting.  
The stage and the audience for the pagent to be played latter in the evening.  It was a lot of fun and done very well.  The interesting thing about it was when we got there and parked there are several anti-mormon protesters.  These people were really bad, very offensive.  I've been to temple square during conference and those protesters are G-rated compared to these guys.  One guy was dressed as the devil with a bull horn calling names and really belittling the faith.  What was nice though is once you get past the parking and into the arena there are large speakers playing instrumental music very peacefully.  It was such a contrast.
The boys at the Moroni monument.  Jackson is pointing to Moroni and Caden is looking up at him.  
Such cute brothers.

that looks like you guys had an awesome time. there were several people from our ward that made the trip this year to the Hill Cumorah pageant. I think that I would have just laughed really hard at the dude dressed as the devil. I probably would have laughed in front of him for a while. Probably pointing also. What idiots.
Your family looks great. As always, I know you're trying your best to look how you look. Two words Nick: It's time to pay for a hair cut. Just kidding. I used the clippers today on my own melon.
Hope all is well. Keep in touch.
