Kirtland Trip!

A little over a month ago, two of my sisters came to visit me for a few days! Unfortunately their 5 day visit turned into a 4 day visit because of a cancelled flight. :( We spent 4 days traveling all over Ohio. Our first stop was the Prime Outlet stores in Jeffersonville. Lets just say we over saved (especially Rachel :) ) The second day we traveled to Kirtland Ohio to see the Temple and some of the church sights there. Day 3 was spent relaxing and included seeing the 3rd Twilight movie "Eclipse" with some friends. The last day, my wonderful husband took the kids for a whole entire day while us girls traveled to Cedar point amusement park in Cleveland! Like usual, i wish we would've taken more pictures of our week but we did take plenty of Kirtland..
These are some of the rooms in the Whitney Red Store

These are some of the rooms in the N.K. Whitney store.
This store was very significant in church history. It was the place where the school of the prophets was held and where Joseph lived with his family for a while. The table shown actually belonged to Joseph Smith and that room is where he translated some of the Book Of Mormon and received many revelations for the church.
The many cute faces of ashley!


At the beginning of our tour, we received little comment cards to fill out and return to the missionaries afterward. Kaitlyn was so cute with her card! Every place we went she would stop and write on her card (little circles and scribbles) Sooo cute!

The Kirtland Temple! Unfortunately the "Community of Christ Church" would not let us take pictures inside but it was an amazing experience to be able to see inside and hear about it's history and the things that took place there.


Oh Tara, this was just too cute to not post! lol
I had so a fun week with my sisters! It was just too short :( Love you girls! xoxoxo Thanks for coming!
