After walking around the Palmyra Temple, we went to the Hill Cumorah. This is the visiting center. It has videos and missionaries. 
This is a statue of some big scriptures. I was showing the boys that it is okay to get your picture taken here because it says so in my LDS tourist book. It was really, really windy and even windier at the top of the hill.
The cool thing about this picture, is that it is the scripture that Greg chose for his missionary plaque.
This is the Hill Cumorah. It is set up for the pageant that they have here every summer.
There are paths that you walk up to get to the top. At the top there is a monument with the Angel Moroni on the top. 
This describes the significance of the engravings on the monument.
It was neat to think about Joseph coming here to get the plates. And that he had to come here on the same day every year for four years before he could take them with him. And it was cute to think about Emma waiting for him in the wagon. What a strong woman to stand by him through everything that they went through.

All of these sites would be so neat to go and visit!
Yeah, I didn't know that Emma went with him to get the plates until, like, four years ago. I think it's fitting that the wifey was there with him at such a significant event.
