A Whirlwind of a Week

Well, Aubri got here last Sunday. For those of you who don't know, she will be working as a volunteer for the Nauvoo Pageant, in family support. She will be watching the young children that are in the cast when they are not performing. We think there is more to it, but we won't know until later today. Anyway, she came a week a head of time so we could get in some of the sites before she starts on July 5. True to the Stobbe tradition (my side of the family) we crammed in 2 weeks worth into 1. So, I haven't had time to blog but I will try to give you a quick recap of the week.
