John and Sarah had to leave early in the morning but our flight didn't depart until the evening so we had one more day to enjoy the area. Before leaving town we went back to the temple for a few more pictures. (We also gave our extra groceries to the NPMs next door, but I don't have any pictures of that.)
The kids watched the 1993 movie The Adventures of Huck Finn as we drove to Hannibal. We spent several hours in town, checking out Mark Twain's old stomping grounds, going on a fun riverboat cruise down the Mississippi, and eating lunch at a yummy Italian place.

We still had time to kill before we needed to go to the airport in St. Louis so we decided to go check out the Mark Twain Memorial Lighthouse, and stop for a photo with Tom and Huck.
I'm so thankful we were able to make this trip and enjoy quality time with John and Sarah's family!
