Hoopes Trip to New York (Palmyra and Niagara Falls)

Niagara Falls

My mom, dad, and sister, Lindy came to visit us. Since it was my Dad's first time here we took him to see Niagara falls and the church History sites. The weather couldn't have been better -(most of the time) and since it is the fall time it couldn't have been more beautiful!

Hill Cummorah

The view from the top of the hill was amazing! Paige LOVED crawling around and around the monument. Shealee LOVED following her!

The Sacred Grove

We've had the chance of visiting the sacred grove two October's in a row. Last year we went with Brandon's family and this year with mine. So BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Peter Whitmer Home

Look how brilliant that tree is. The sad thing is, that picture just doesn't show that tree justice! It was so bright For those of you who don't know, there was much that took place at The Peter Whitmer farm. Much of the Book of Mormon was translated here, the Three Witnesses were shown the plates in a wooded area on the Whitmer Farm, and the Whitmer home was the location of the organization of the Church.
