Nauvoo - Fears Reunion

A few weeks ago we flew out to St. Louis and drove to Nauvoo, Illinois for a Fears family reunion...SO fun! So, some of my pictures are totally out of order, but I'm too lazy to fix them.

Here is a shot of Gary's siblings (2 are missing) and parents. Cute family huh? I love them!


Lucky for us, we went to Nauvoo during the Pageant time. We went early to get seats together and while we waited, we played a bunch of pioneer games...




Susan and I doing a little 'stick pull' - It was SO hot and humid, I think that's probably why Susan won. :)
Green team against whowever wanted to take them on...
Don't you dare go visit Nauvoo any other time of year. This is a total must see!! The pageant was AMAZING, my absolute favorite one I've seen...to be completely honest, I've only seen three total pageants, but still! It was good!

Sam and his cousin, Owen


The first day in Nauvoo, we participated in a one mile wagon trail. It was totally muddy, filled with hills, and so much fun!! Another thing you MUST do when you go!

Team Jacob!
This was about half way, you should have seen how mudy everyone was. I don't have pictures, just video and I really don't know how to get that on here. We rested here and everyone cleaned themselves off before continuing on.


Fears Family 5K run...a tradition that was sort of bombed this year. Five of us ran it, it was a nice run...pretty.

How would you love to have THIS view out your front door? This is the view right outside Sarah Granger Kimball's front door. She was one of the reason's we have the Relief Society today. I'm sure she LOVED watching that Temple being built. Talent Show!!!
