Every family has problems and challenges. But successful families try to work together toward solutions instead of resorting to criticism and contention. They pray for each other, discuss, and give encouragement. Ezra Taft Benson

Bagpipes & the Memorial Day Parade

Wesley has taken up the bagpipe, and joined a pipe and drum band, mainly because of the influence of the pipe and drum band in Nauvoo. Though he is very much a beginner, and still on the chanter, the band allowed him to march in the parade with some of the pipes stopped.

The kids were all there to cheer on Dad, and got a big kick out of seeing him wear a kilt.

Awesome! What a great opportunity to march in the parade, and to take up a new hobby/talent because of such an experience.

Many of my kids have felt a similar connection with Nauvoo, expressed in a different way than bagpipes - but it is one of the best parts of living here!

We'll see you this summer in Nauvoo!
