Hill Cumorah Pageant
Last weekend we went to the Hill Cumorah Pageant in Palmyra New York. We've been up to Palmyra several times to see the church sites but never during pageant time so this was a first for us. Our friends, the Crabtree's were there as well so we sat together and had a good time. We got there 3 hours early and got pretty good seats. The kids were troopers even though we were there for so long. They all enjoyed the show, except Christopher got a little scared during all the fire and Abinadi getting burned at the stake. Through a child's eye's you realize that the Book of Mormon is a little scary sometimes. :) My favorite was Annie saying, "Mom, they said commandments. We have commandments!" They all enjoyed the scene where Jesus comes down to the Nephites. We went to church the next day, then walked through the Sacred Grove and then drove home. All in all, it was a fun trip.

So glad you guys got to go! I love the Hill Cumorah Pageant! We used to go as a kid when we lived in NY and then I went a couple times as an adult (one time with 3 kids by myself and another with the whole family). I love that you always seem to run into others you know from somewhere. Last time we went we actually ran into Sis. Plange! So fun!
I'm so glad you got to experience the pageant. We did the same thing in getting there a few hours earlier and ended up on the front row too. At least that's where it looks like you guys are seated. Anyway, we absolutely loved it and were so glad we made the trip up there before we left the area. Hope you are all doing well.
Someone gave me a Living Scriptures DVD of the beginning of the Book of Mormon, and Emma made us turn it off because it was "bad" when Laman and Lemuel were fighting with Nephi. The sweetness of kids!
what a fun trip! i remember when we went there as well. I think Ashton loved all the Joseph Smith's walking around the best. So many amazing things to see back there!! I miss it sometimes! Happy you are taking advantage of it all...
Oh, that is something I'd love to do someday; attend the pageant and visit the sacred grove and that whole area. That's where Alison served right? What a fun trip for your family. Cute photos!
