As we were leaving Salt Lake City to move to Milwaukee Sara pulled out a wallet-sized picture of Annie and taped it to the gear shift. This was back when Annie was a wee lass of only one month. We were pretty sad to be leaving home, and were very worried that we would never get to know our new little niece. Over the last year and a half though, we've found a lot of reasons to visit Annie and her parents, and we were very grateful that they came out to see us. Zoe and Annie were certainly not in the mood to sit through a tour, and we'd been through Carthage Jail before, so we took Annie and Zoe outside to run around and eat rocks. Hopefully Nathen and Jennifer enjoyed their brief jail break. While we were out there Sara took some of the best pictures of Zoe and Annie ever. I particularly like the one on the top up there where the little sun beams are coming in. But I don't want to go on and on about the kids all day, just let it be known that regardless of our living 1440 miles from Nathen and Jennifer, Zoe and Annie have turned out to be best friends forever.
Carthage Jail was as good as an experience as ever. From there we were off on our way, along the river road from Keokuk to Nauvoo. That's right, I said Keokuk. Only two weeks before our trip there was some very severe flooding in the area and I was amazed how high the water level was. We made it through without getting our feet wet, got settled into our hotel and went out on the town.
