New York- part 2

Next stop was the Smith Farm. The Smith boys cleared out acres and acres of trees to build this farm. 

Here is a rebuilt version of the first house the Smith family lived in when they moved to Palmyra- Joseph Sr, Lucy and 8 children....



The Smith Family moved to Manchester...which actually was about a three minute walk from the first house :) Ty loved all the open space to run, play and be a boy!!---- running down the path to the next farm house...



i love this shot :)


way cool thing....this is a shot of the Palmyra Temple from the path between the two farm houses....beautiful :)

My beautiful sis Kristin, bro in law Greg, and Madi Magoo :o)

Farm House #2- Alvin was actually building this house to move unto with his wife but never was able to finish it.  After he died, the family finished it and moved in.
This house is 85% original construction.  We even saw the fireplace where Joseph hid the plates when the mob came.





Did I mention it is GOREGEOUS here? :o)







on the path headed to the Sacred Grove...........

So jealous! I have always wanted to go to all the places that you are going to. Ty and Madi are the cutest cousins EVER! I wish more than anything that Tanner has cousins close to his age like that. So cute!
