Palmyra

We had the chance to go to Palmyra yesterday. It was gorgeous. We only live about 1 hour and a half away, and it was so worth the drive. The scenery was beautiful and the weather was perfect. Really glad we went!

don't worry, in all these pics Elle looks like she has black eyes, and I finally figured out it was from these cheap binoculars that she brought with her!

love the trees in the backround

there were these cute yellow flowers everywhere, they were beautiful
it was so green and peaceful there

I had never seen so many drinking fountains in one spot!




It really was a neat experience to go and see the sacred grove and the home the Smiths were living in at the time. I felt really peaceful when we were walking through the grove, there were birds chirping, flowers everywhere, it was so green and the trees were gorgeous. It was a perfect Sunday afternoon family activity. We will definitely go back for the pageant in July!
