We started off the
Hunsaker Family Reunion with a world travel game. There is a nice open field next to the Historic
Nauvoo Visitors' Center and were supposed to imagine it as a map of the world. Starting with the oldest person present (my Dad) he stood on the map in the year he was born and we went through each year with people arriving on the map and then moving around to where they were each year. It was pretty fun. My sister even brought pictures of the people not there so the younger kids carried them around to the right places. Some years were pretty busy, and some people did a whole lot of traveling. one of my brothers-in-law lived in Singapore several times so he kept going back and forth. We ended with 2010 and all of us together in Illinois.
Then we broke into a few groups, some of us heading for the Sarah Granger Kimball Home.
While some of us walked to the house, others went back to get their cars and drive down so we'd make it back in time for our wagon ride. Scott took a little detour with Cakes:
Silly pondering what his job might have been back then.
About to walk down some very narrow, steep, winding steps while holding a sleeping baby; very complicated.
After Sarah's house we went on a wagon tour of Old Nauvoo.
They warned us about the mayflies down by the river; harmless, but plentiful and very easily tangled in my hair.
