Last week we got to go with some of the family to Palmyra New York! It was SO beautiful there! There were tons of trees and lilacs and everything was so green.

After Joseph found the plates locals dug up the entire hill looking for more gold. Funny, right? Considering they didn't believe he'd found anything at all!

I thought this one was especially pretty
Josh and Shelly's wedding was beautiful and Russ and I over-indulged on Prime Rib at the all-you-could-ever-hope-to-eat buffet at their CASTLE reception. They looked so great and so happy. Shelly was a gorgeous bride and Josh didn't look too shabby in a tux!

We got to visit the Sacred Grove, the Hill Cumorah, and Niagara Falls. We even stopped in Buffalo, New York to eat authentic Buffalo Wings. They were quite yummy.

We were excited to spend time with Molly and Garrett, and get to now Baby Liam better! He is the happiest, sweetest little boy ever!

What a fun vacation! We went to Palmyra about 2 1/2 years ago. It was so beautiful! We were able to go to Canada at that time to see Niagra Falls, but when we went it was pouring rain! That's cool that you got to take a boat ride!
Hey, you guys, awesome blog!!! I LOVE the pictures of the sacred grove, how beautiful! Thanks for putting up pics of the wedding day too, I wish we could've been there! I'm so glad you got to go and have fun! You are a beautiful family, animals and all!!!
