This past week Emily and I were able to check out the fantastic metropolis of Kansas City Missouri. I was there Tuesday and Wednesday for business and Emily joined me on Wednesday night until Saturday. Thank you again for those that watched our children. A big thanks to my dad who went to the Father's day water fight at Caitlyn's school in my place. I really didn't know there was going to be shaving cream in the balloons.
Community of Christ Temple right across the street from LDS Visitors Center.
Community of Christ Auditorium. Across the other street from LDS Visitors Center. Independence Temple Lot. Totally un-used. Diagonal from LDS Visitors Center. All that is on this lot is what looks like a raised gravestone that says temple lot. This land is owned by the Community of Christ Church
We did hear quite a funny story while we were out there. My Dad served a mission in the Central States 4 1/2 decades ago. (haha) He serves in Liberty, MO for a period. While he was there, he stayed in an apartment that was in the basement of the Libert Jail Visitors Center. One night he and his companion went and slept on the hard stone floor of the Liberty Jail to better understand the conditions that the 5 men endured for 4 months through the winter. When we told the younger sisters serving there about this they looked like they had heard the worst news of their lives. It was quite funny. That apartment is now a theater, seen below.We had quite a fun trip and logeed about 500 miles on the rental car. If you ever have the chance to go to these sites, they are worth the time.

What a great experience. I've never been there but I have been to the Hill Cumorah and I've been to the Palmyra Temple with our Stake Priest and Laural trips twice. All of these church sites no matter how big or small are incredible and such a moving experience. What a wonderful time to have to yourselves!
Hey Chad did you know that my Grandparents served there mission at liberty jail?! I have been there! Its pretty much the sweetest thing, actually the only thing in Missouri! Well it sounds like you had a super fun trip! Im really glad i got to watch your kids...44 hours woohoo!!!!
I want to take a Church History trip one day. I guess when all of my kids grow up. My parents took it once, and came back with TONS of pics, and a LITTLE slideshow for us to watch. And, Congrats on graduating! What an accomplishment. That pic of your mom and Randy are funny. I don't know him well, but the pic kind of gives him away! :)
Hey there! I found your blog finally. Your kids are so darn cute, and I just think it is so darn cool that you graduated! Way to go. It was fun to see you and Chad and hang out with you guys.
