Adam- Ondi- Ahman

Next Stop, Adam- Ondi- Ahman.  Mom was nice enough to stay in the car with Jenson while he napped (what would I do without my mom?)  We headed down to Preachers Rock.  This is where Joseph Smith stood to "preach" to the people and soldiers.  While standing on the rock you can just talk in your normal voice and those clear out in the field can still hear you.  It's pretty incredible.   

This is where we were standing while dad was on the rock telling a story about Joseph Smith (one I have never heard of before!  Can I just say want a amazing prophet he was?!) It was kind of hard to hear from all of the wind but how crazy is it that he was not even yelling and we could hear him!

Babe and I had been here a few times before but never knew about Lyman Whites house, located there as well.  Of course dad knew right where it was and took us to go see it (it's right down from preachers rock!) Well what is left of his house anyway ;) 

^^ Where his well was^^

You can still see the foundation, and some stairs.  Someone else lived there after and built on to his a little.  But seriously- how cool is that? 

We ate our dinner there, and tried not to blow away in the wind! haha  

Jenson had a short nap so he was really cranky but the show must go on! 

Funny story... there was a father and son down by the rock when we came back from looking at the house.  They took our picture for us and then wanted us to sit down on the rock and "ponder" out into the field.  Apparently with the lighting it was a really cool shot or something.. haha we just felt stupid/ awkward as we sat there so some kid could take our picture for his collection. lol

Hauns Mill

After church on Sunday we went to hit up some church history sites!  We started with Hauns Mill.  Before each place my dad would tell us stories about each place,  important revelations given, and then how we can relate it to us today.  There is no one better then church site seeing then with my dad! And it helped that they just got back from a CES tour of all of these sites so he had a massive book of the history!  

There was only this marker at Hauns Mill but the spirit sure was strong.  Things that happened here is so tragic, especially since it could have been avoided.  But it taught me to always listen to the prophets, they know best!

Down town Kansas City

Today we hit up the WW1 Museum, Union Station, and the Nelson Atkins Museum (only the outside) 

Babe had school all day, and since he has been to all of those before we went out early to get home before he did!  I love history and reading and hearing stories.  I am pretty sure I could spend hours here but with a grouchy toddler I spent most of it walking around and trying to keep Jenson entertained! 

 This is one of my favorite views!  Sadly the tower was shut down for renovation, but we got rain tickets to go again later! 

 Next up, Union Station! 

 Jenson LOVED the trains! 

It was 2 years ago to the day, that my sister where here to help me with Jenson.  We went to the Nelson Atkins museum and Jillisa took this picture.  So we all tried to recreate it.. not as easy as it looks! 

Oh I love sight seeing with family!
