Trip to Upstate NY: Part 2

Palmyra, NY is only a couple of hours away from where my sister lives, so we had to take a trip out there to show Ryan and Hyrum some sacred places.

Our first stop was the Sacred Grove, where Joseph Smith had a vision of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. It really is a sacred place, and we all felt the Spirit there.

These pictures are from Hill Cumorah, where Joseph Smith was shown in vision that the Book of Mormon was buried.

The Hill Cumorah is a really steep hill, and Hyrum had a fun time running up…

And down :)

He also liked scooting down the hill on his bum.

This is the temple in Palmyra, and you can see the Sacred Grove from the side of it.

We got to stay the night INSIDE the Hill Cumorah visitor’s center where my Aunt and Uncle live (they are on a mission in Palmyra, and you can read their blog here). Thanks for letting us stay Aunt Michele and Uncle Steve!
