ALLEE FAMILY BLOG: Back to Blogging Part 1

Yes, I am back to blogging after six months! I got a little lazy because our internet was so slow, and now that we have faster internet to download all of the pictures we post, I am back to blogging. Hope you enjoy the pics as we back track.

We had the opportunity to go on a road trip with some friends to their home in Chatuaqua, New York and then to the Palmyra, New York area for their temple sealing after school let out in June. It was such a great experience! Here are a few pictures from our time in the Palmyra area. We will post more pics of our time in Chatauqua very soon!

The Hill Cumorah Visitor's Center

This Christus is located within the Visitor's Center. Ellary especially loved seeing Jesus.

This is Hill Cumorah. A crew was setting up for the Hill Cumorah Pageant that showed the very next week.

This is the monument on top of hill Cumorah. Moroni is standing on top. It was a beautiful place to be.

Ellary cried when we said we needed to go because she didn't want to "leave Jesus."

This is a picture of Henry and Jan Kanui. These are our friends that we stayed with in Chatauqua, New York and for whom we attended their Temple Sealing in the Palmyra New York Temple. They are very special people, and we are grateful to have been invited to participate in their sealing and be with them in their New York home.

You can see that the stained glass window behind Kris is of trees. It's very beautiful. The window facing the Sacred Grove isn't stained so that you can view the grove from within the temple. It was done this way as President Hinckley asked. Pretty neat and inspiring!

The Sacred Grove is where Joseph went to pray and in response to his prayer saw God the Father, and His son Jesus Christ. It's located just west of the temple and can be seen from the temple. It's a very special place and we enjoyed being able to walk through it.
