Louisville KY

Well, really it's actually Shepherdsville, but you get it...

Left Independence a little later than we hoped, but we enjoyed seeing some sights (rest of the story continues after the pictures...):

Brooklyn playing on the iPad

Doug (looking like a 'skin head')

Brandon having fun with his camera and the night lights

Church of Christ temple across from the Independence Visitor's Center:

The kids called it the 'whip cream' and 'upside down ice cream cone' temple

Inside the LDS visitor's center...

Getting ready for a video presentation

Original 1st edition of the Book of Mormon

"...I've got the whole world, in my hands..."

Different languages of the Book of Mormon

Wow, aren't they awesome looking??

Small 'play area' downstairs was a favorite of the kids

BIG checkers

Braydon snoozin' in the back of the wagon...

Hoola-hoop girl

Brennalyn in her cute little house

Entrance to the log cabin

Brittany wanted a turn

Admiring something...

Different angle

"Come here, my pretty....!!"

We folded him up to get him through the door...

Yee-haw!

This horsie moves a little slow

These are from Liberty Jail site...

This is the key used to open the door

Many stones used here are the original ones.  

Kansas City International

Oak Ridge mall south of KC... Brennalyn, Brinley, and Bryan went for

a little ride after visiting the Lego's store

With a thunderstorm along the way, we decided to push through to Dad's instead of stopping along the way.  Arrived around 4am KY time.  One thing we know for sure -- the kids sleep really well when we're driving the RV!  Thankfully Liz was able to drive some so that Doug could get some sleep before driving again.

Got up and went to church at the Shepherdsville Branch.  Nice folks, good services.  Came back to the house, visited a bit while a few took some naps.  Sue and Jim came by to say 'hi', had a nice visit as we planned how to fix the country and all the states in trouble.  Simple plan, I think it'll work!  Now all we need to do is take over DC later this week...
