Jake and Rachel

So WE are in CHICAGO! We made it here 2 weeks ago now. I think.. anyways, we all packed up in the car to the tippy top! Plus we had to put a few things on the top. The best part is that our car doesn't have a rack. So we just strapped everything down with bungie cords. We looked awesome! Just like a crazy little family with a stroller and saucer on top. Reed was stuffed in a little corner of the car. We called it his little bat cave. It was just a 8 hour drive to chicago, so not to bad. Besides that we haven't been doing to much. Reed and I just hang out and go the park across the street. Its a really nice park, it has a splash pad, and the ground is all squishy. Reed loves the swings! (well that pretty much all he do (:

But a few weeks ago me and Reed got to go with Celeste and her mom Chantel to Palmyra New york. It was so great! We got to go to the sacred grove, and all the sights around there. We also got to go to the Palmyra Pageant, which if you have been to the Manti pageant its really good, but Palmyra was so AMAZING! I expected it to be kinda boring ( like the manti pageant (no offense manti) but it wasn't it was all about the book of Mormon- it was full of battles, and action and they had tons of special effects! so cool!!!
Then we got to stop and literally run to and see Niagara falls! The whole trip was awesome, and I had so much fun with Celeste and Chantel! Thanks Guys for letting us tag along!!!

Sacred Grove- it was so peaceful and you could definitely fell the spirit, it reminded me of being in the temple.

the AWESOME Pageant!!

He's decided he wants to crawl like this, i think his knees are getting sore.
So fun, he is just a fun loving happy kid!
