UTAH VALLEY CHILDREN'S TOUR 2014
Church History Tour

There are WAY too many pictures to post here.  And they are not of the concerts!  Most were in chapels where we were not filming!  
This 16 day trip was amazing and we got to see most of the church history sites and heard amazing music all along the way.
Miles and Quincy are both singing for the choir this year.  We were so lucky that Grandpa and Grandma Hansen stayed with Porter and Ella.

We started by getting to Mount Rushmore...
(along with a couple of bus problems/etc...)


We had concerts and LOTS of bus time as we made our way across the country.


Kirtland Temple.  The kids got to sing in the temple.  Choice experience.  



Sacred Grove.  Hope to have the whole family there next time.  
The Spirit is so strong there and I hope the boys recognized that.



Hill Cummorah...

Nauvoo



Carthage Jail

Quincy Illinois

We had a great time!  Loved the time to spend with just the older 2 kiddos.

We ended our adventure stopping in Denver for something exciting...



 AND the kids at home were so well taken care of.  We feel so blessed to have these 2 Grandparents in our lives.  They took over as mom and dad and now they have a special bond with Porter and Ella that is different than before.  We love them so much!!! 




 We face timed once and Ella loved it...but we had to abandon that idea because she had a hard time after that "visit".  


These 2...so glad they will always have each other!!
