December 17, 2011 - Trip to Kansas City

So, long story short, we went up to Kansas City to see some historical church sites. These gravestones were located at the new 8 Witnesses Monument.They are obviously really old.
If you can read any of it, you are pretty good. What's amazing to me is that someone carved these with their own hands and tools. The writing is absolutely lovely.
Here is part of the Eight Witnesses monument.
This is such a sight to see!
Here are the grounds with the gravestones.Such a sacred and beautiful place.Then, it was off to another site: the new temple site.Loved this! For all those who worked on the temple, there is a code of conduct. It is kind of funny, but also amazing that there is still a reverence maintained when the Lord's temples are built upon this Earth.Heaven on Earth!Isn't this amazing?!We can't wait until the open house!What is a trip to Kansas City without going to Union Station. During this holiday season, they had their special train outside, all decorated in holiday lights.Inside the Station was a HUGE layout. Clara and James couldn't get enough. Ballerina girl and Santa Fe boys! James was in "hog-heaven"!Off to Jack Stack's for BBQ. The only way we could get James to eat his french fries was to pretend it was a train. He loved that.We also went to the American Girl store and a few other places. We forgot how much fun Kansas City is, especially during Christmastime.
