Pretend you are Pioneers

 We knew visiting Nauvoo in April might be cold.  It was cold.  Very, very cold and the wind blew 99% of the time.  However, as long as you are not a pioneer heading across the Mississippi river, cold is perfect for Nauvoo.  We would run from house to house and enjoy our time inside.  However, we were excited when we found out that there were quilts to use on the wagon ride.  The cute missionaries kept telling us "Take more quilts!  Wrap up in six quilts!" and so we did.  We stayed warm and some of us even enjoyed a nap during the ride!

We were so well wrapped, it reminded me of a passage from Little House in the Big Woods:
"Ma and Aunt Eliza wrapped up the cousins.  They pulled heavy woolen stockings over the woolen stockings and the shoes they were already wearing.  They put on mittens and coats and warm hoods and shawls, and wrapped mufflers around their necks and thick woolen veils over their faces.  Ma slipped pipping hot baked potatoes into their pockets to keep their fingers warm, and Aunt Eliza's flatirons were hot on the stove, ready to put at their feet in the sled.  The blankets and the quilts and the buffalo robes were warmed, too."
