Saturday was a little more exciting. We drove about one and a half hours to Corning, New York to see the glass museum. While we were there we got to do a little glassblowing workshop and make an ornament. For these workshops they basically do all of the work for you and you get to blow some of the air into the glass. We are not quite sure what the end product is because when the colors of the glass are hot, they are very dull. It takes about 24 hours for the ornaments to cool down and then they ship them to you. So we will all have to wait a few weeks to see how the ornaments turned out. After we made the ornaments, we spent several hours looking around the museum. We watched some cool demonstrations of how to make glass vases and glass flowers. It is amazing what they can do. Some of the flowers on display look amazingly real.
Today Justin got to come to the branch with us. After church we drove out to Palmyra. At the visitors center we watched the video "Joseph Smith Prophet of the Restoration." Then we went over to walk around in the Sacred Grove. It is so green and peaceful there. Then we went to the top of the Hill Cumorah. Tomorrow, Justin has a bright and early flight leaving Rochester a 6:15 AM. It has been fun to have him out for a few days to visit.
