Thanksgiving/Church History Road Trip- Day 2


Stopped at Winter Quarters in Omaha, Nebraska to see the visitor's center, Temple and cemetery. 
 



Stopped for lunch at the mall at Raising Cane's chicken and the kids played at the kids play place. 

We stayed 2 nights at my college roommate's house in Omaha with her family. Kids had such a good time playing and we enjoyed the most fabulous non-traditional prime rib Thanksgiving dinner!
Rosie and Addison are kindred spirits, it helped that they had matching kitty shoes :) , 


 

I didn't get too many pictures of dinner and games, but we had a great time! 



Next stop was Liberty Jail visitor center- such an amazing story and powerful place. 

 


Independence, Missouri
Dale's Uncle Mike and Aunt Kathy are serving their mission here and we were able to see them and have them give us the tour! 






We stayed the night in Columbia, Missouri. It was late when we got to the hotel and we were all so tired! Then the fire alarm went off and we had to evacuate..... we sat in the car for what seemed like forever and finally were able to get back inside and asleep. We should have just kept driving at that point! Anyway.... the next morning I went to wake up kids and found Addison's stuffed animal attached to her body. It looked hilarious and we were all laughing so hard because she was sound asleep with a pillow on her head! 

Made it home in time to see Jeff & Abbie and Elliot before they left to head back to VA!

The fire alarm going of in the middle of the night must have been scary! I wouldn't have known what to do at first! Haha!
