Knight Family Album

For those who don't have one or haven't seen someone else's, I thought I'd post the link to our album from the family pictures Annette took. The book turned out amazing, and I'm sure you will all enjoy it. Plus, this way, you can send the link out to anyone else you want to view the album.

Old Missionary Chapel on Mackinec and lighthouse


Mackinec Island, Michigan






We were so glad Kyle told us about this Island. It is like taking a step back in time. There are no cars on the island, only horses, carriages, and bicycles. The one picture is of the ferry boat that took us accross to the island. The picture of the fort that was built by the British in 1600. There is a picture of one of the Grand Hotels and another of one of the many homes. It was very touristy but also very interesting!

Newel K. Whitney Store & Kirtland Temple



The film at the visitor's center in Kirtland was awesome! We went to the Whitney Store and I was able to look through the accounts book and find Vinson Knight's name and Reuben McBride(I would have liked to browse more into the book but the group was waiting on me!). But, the account book made them more real! We didn't find Vinson Knight's home this time--mostly because we didn't take time! The facimile of the sawmill and the ashery were most enlightening. I always had wondered where they got money to buy the needed supplies for the Temple completion and the ashery answered that question!

This visit to the Kirtland temple was in the evening and it was so beautiful sitting so magestically on the hill. The grounds were so beautiful!
