Hill Cumorah

What a fun trip! We drove to the Hill Cumorah Pageant this last weekend. My friend and her family came up from Philly for the pageant too. It was fun to spend time with them and see the pageant together. We left Friday to drive half way to Albany, NY where we stayed in a small hotel room that the girls thought was an amusement park for some reason. McKenna loved that we brought the sleeping bag for her to sleep in. Nothing like camping next to your parents bed in a small hotel room. Well she thought it was the greatest thing ever. Lily on the other hand knew we were in the room and decided that she would scream whenever she woke up. We love you Lily but man you have some pipes! The pageant was a blast and we even got to see some other sites in Palmyra while we were there.


Hill Cumorah Visitor Center. We were told that during the pageant the town of Palmyra, NY increases by 20,000 people. So just to say we weren't the only people there for touring.


Setting up for the Pageant. This is on the Hill by the monument just behind the stage where the pageant took place. The green area is seating for the pageant and just behind that is a little grassy hill. That's where we sat so we could see the pageant while our kids ran around.



Cute McKenna and Spencer walking up the hill holding hands together.

From left to right. Spencer, McKenna, Anna and Rachel. I know Lily missed out on the picture. But they had to go up steps to sit there and I just pictured her falling right back down so McKenna and the Drake kids is perfect for now.
