Palmyra

Way back when (in July) The kids, Nee Nee, Julie and I took a roadie to Rochester to see our gorgeous friend, Christa! It was such a blast and we loved invading their space. I love upstate NY, it is beyond gorgeous and SO green. I have been to the Sacred Grove many times and just love it. I have absolutely felt the spirit here and it has testified to me that Joseph Smith did in fact see our Father in Heaven and the Savior, Jesus Christ. I am so grateful for that testimony because with it brings the knowledge of eternal families, temple ordinances and all of the other wonderful things that go along with being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Poor Julie had to endure Nee Nee and I singing for hours on end.

 

We went a little cray cray being in the car for so long. 

We sat smack dab in the front. Funny story, I knew that our friends the Ortons would be there performing but I thought what are the odds that I would see them. Sure enough one of the first performers I see walking around is their oldest daughter Karina! It was so fun to see their awesome family there.



Lake Ontario was SOO gorgeous!



This guy was doing this....so amazing to see it all come together. Sadly there was a deluge about 5 minutes later so it got washed away. But you know, being a sand artist has it's hazards.







We totally got stuck in the aforementioned deluge and saw lightening strike...pretty amazing!
