"I am so happy when Grandpa comes (grandma too)..."

"It's always fun when grandpa comes, when grandpa comes, HURRAY!"

(grandma too, but that is just how the song goes)

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit a couple of weeks ago. We picked them up at the Rochester Airport and saw some of the church history sites. After we spent a few days in Lock Haven before they headed out.

This is looking from the top of the hill.

Sacred Grove
Stacey took a few pictures here. It has been said that this is one of the most sacred places on earth and I must admit that there truly is a sacred feeling in this grove of trees. It was such a neat experience to be in a place where Heavenly Father and His Son appeared in this dispensation. I am grateful to know of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and I do have a testimony of the truthfulness of the Gospel. I know that the Church that Jesus Christ established when Christ was on the earth has been restored in its fullness in our days.

That restoration began here in this sacred grove of trees...









Smith Family Farms
I don't really have any pictures of any of the farm houses, but just of us on the farm.

This picture doesn't do justice, but there was a beautiful view of the temple through the fall colored trees.

If you look close enough you can see that we are infront of the welcome sign at the Palmyra temple.

We were able to go to a session at the temple before touring the sites.

Grandma and Anniston in their hoods

Anniston was driving this horse. She would hold on and was pulling hard on the reigns (Grandpa's hair!). After, Grandpa thought he had for sure lost the rest of his hair.

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for coming to visit!

Anniston misses you tons. She still will go around saying "Gwam-pa, Gwam-pa."
